Marc-André ter Stegen, born 30 April 1992) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Spanish club Barcelona.
After four seasons in the Bundesliga with Borussia Mönchengladbach, making 108 league appearances, he joined Barcelona in 2014.
He won the treble in his first season in Spain, playing in Barcelona's wins in the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League.
Ter Stegen has represented Germany at several youth levels and made his senior international debut in 2012.
At the FC Barcelona
On 19 May 2014, Ter Stegen was announced as the new goalkeeper of Spanish club Barcelona, after the departures of Víctor Valdés and José Manuel Pinto, effective during the summer transfer window.
On 22 May 2014, he signed a five-year contract that would keep him at the club until June 2019.
The transfer fee was €12 million (£9.7 million), and the buy-out clause was set to €80 million (£63.6 million).
After the move, Ter Stegen said joining the club was the right move and that he aimed to settle at the club.
Days after signing for Barcelona, Ter Stegen was unveiled at the stadium of Camp Nou and dismissed his comparison to Valdés, insisting: "I am who I am and that’s that".

Hi
I'm father of 2 twin boys who obsessed with football. I know probably my message is one of thousands, but could you please send an individual message to onne of my son... He called Asher, and loves Barca, but loves you Marc even more. You are his idol. I don't want more than a video message for his 8th birthday, where you saying "happy birthday Asher". It would mean the world or so to him. It could be only for watching, not to share or editing ... I just want him to have an individual birthday wish from you. His birthday is 3rd August....
I'm hoping....
Bless you
