AC Milan Rule Out Move for Barcelona's Ter Stegen

In a quick turnaround, AC Milan have distanced themselves from rumours linking them with Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. The German international was briefly linked to San Siro amid speculation surrounding Mike Maignan’s potential transfer to Chelsea. However, Milan are now focusing on AS Roma’s Mile Svilar as their top goalkeeping target.

Despite Barcelona closing in on young keeper Joan Garcia and looking to cut their wage bill, Milan have made no contact with Ter Stegen or Barça. His high salary, a result of multiple contract renewals, remains a major obstacle. While Ter Stegen’s future at Barcelona is uncertain, Milan are unlikely to pursue the move unless there’s a significant wage reduction or contract termination. For now, the Rossoneri are concentrating on more financially viable, domestic options for their goalkeeping needs.
