Marc-Andre ter Stegen has never hid the fact his situation at Barcelona is not ideal. The German goalkeeper only plays in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, but he is ambitious and wants to play every game.

At 23 (he will turn 24 in April) he feels he is now ready to be a regular at any club in the world, including Barça, and he's not keen on waiting around too much longer in a team that is fighting for every trophy.

The goalkeeper is currently with his national team and has spoken with various German media outlets about his feelings at Camp Nou.

"I want to take the next step forward and play more because the situation is clear: if nothing changes, we will have to have talks," he said. He could not have been any clearer about his situation at the Catalan club.

He continued: "At the end of the season I will have played around 25 games. It's not a small amount, but when I get back from national team duty, it's likely I will be on the bench in the Clasico against Real Madrid. So 25 games is not enough for me."

However, he didn't want to talk any more about a possible destination if he does leave Barça.

"No idea," he said. "It's too early to say. We've got games coming up against Real Madrid in La Liga and Atletico in the Champions League. That's all that counts. After that, we will see what the club does with me."
