Barca put Ter Stegen's renewal on hold until summer

Ter Stegen and Barcelona still haven't come to an understanding in search of a new contract. The German wants to renegotiate the conditions and mainly the salary, but he will not do so until the end of the current season.

That is Barcelona's intention, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'. Josep Maria Bartomeu wants to deal with his renewal personally, but it will be when the championships end. 

'Sport' assures the club and the player are close to an agreement. The goalkeeper would renew until 2025, but far from it, he will have to wait at least a few more weeks.

The negotiations to extend his contract were stopped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now they have been reactivated, with the president even speaking with the keeper in one of the training sessions.

Barcelona are aware that they can't let one of the best goalkeepers in the world escape. But also that the current sporting and economic situation makes them have to ask the goalie for the favour of waiting a little longer.
