Ter Stegen Distances Himself From Bayern After Replacing Neuer As Germany Number One

## Ter Stegen distances himself from Bayern after replacing Neuer as Germany number one ### Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has distanced himself from a possible move to Bayern Munich, despite replacing Manuel Neuer as Germany's number one goalkeeper.

Ter Stegen has been linked with a move to Bayern for several years, with the German giants reportedly interested in signing him as a long-term replacement for Neuer.

However, the 30-year-old has now ruled out a move to Bayern, saying that he is happy at Barcelona and has no plans to leave.

"I'm very happy at Barcelona," Ter Stegen told German newspaper Bild. "I have a contract until 2025 and I'm not thinking about leaving."

Ter Stegen's comments come after he replaced Neuer as Germany's number one goalkeeper for the Nations League matches against Hungary and England.

Neuer is currently out injured with a shoulder problem, and Ter Stegen has taken advantage of his absence to establish himself as the new number one.

Ter Stegen's performances for Germany have been impressive, and he has kept clean sheets in both of the matches he has played.

His form has led to speculation that he could be a long-term replacement for Neuer, but Ter Stegen has now distanced himself from a move to Bayern.

### Ter Stegen's decision to stay at Barcelona is a blow to Bayern, who have been looking for a new goalkeeper for some time.

Neuer is 36 years old and is nearing the end of his career, and Bayern are keen to find a long-term replacement for him.

Ter Stegen was seen as the ideal candidate, but his decision to stay at Barcelona means that Bayern will have to look elsewhere.

Bayern have been linked with a number of other goalkeepers, including Borussia Monchengladbach's Yann Sommer and RB Leipzig's Peter Gulacsi.

However, it remains to be seen whether Bayern will be able to find a goalkeeper who is as good as Ter Stegen.
