Ter Stegen’s existing agreement with the Bundesliga outfit expires in 2015 but the Barcelona target has informed them he will not be penning an extension to the deal.
As a result, Borussia sporting director Max Eberl, in a thinly veiled hint that the player will be joining the Catalans for next term, issued a statement via Borussia’s official website.
“Marc has informed us that he won't accept our offer and therefore will not extend his contract with us," it read.
“It is a great shame from our point of view but we must accept it. We suspect he will join the club about which there has been a lot of speculation.
“I fully expect we will need to find a new goalkeeper for next season.”
The 21-year-old stopper has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Camp Nou since current Barca incumbent Victor Valdes announced he will be leaving at the end of the 2013-14 campaign to experience a fresh challenge and a different culture.
