There were some reports that the Camp Nou side had already agreed a fee with the player's club, but this has been swiftly rejected by the Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl. Of ter Stegen's reported move to Barca, he said: “We have not been approached by any club. It is a fact. We are in contract talks, and we are optimistic that Marc will continue to play for us beyond this season since the talks have been very positive so far.”
