Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s loan departure from Barcelona in the summer was a major point of discussion, especially given the terms of the move.

The Catalans, after all, continued to cover most of the player’s salary and agreed to send him out on loan gaining nothing in the immediate future.

With neither a big fee nor salary savings arriving, many criticised the decision to let the player leave and join Ajax for one season.

Now, however, SPORT brings to light that Barcelona’s administration have begun to internally celebrate the success of their plan.

Indeed, as conveyed by the outlet, Barcelona see the idea of sending Ter Stegen to Ajax to be bearing fruit now.

They see their plan working on a sporting level, as the veteran star has taken big steps towards creating a market demand for himself again.

After years of complicated injuries, there was a need to give Ter Stegen regular minutes to gain his confidence back and rebuild his market value. That objective is currently on the right track.
