Barcelona shot stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has made it clear that he no longer wants to settle for a position on the bench behind first-choice goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
The Germany international joined the Catalans from Borussia Monchengladbach ahead of the 2014-15 campaign, but did not feature in La Liga once as head coach Luis Enrique preferred the Chilean international ahead of him.
Ter Stegen did defend the Barcelona goal in the Champions League and Copa del Rey, but he is no longer satisfied to only feature in cup competitions.
"I returned before my holidays were up to prepare well for the new season. I want to play every game," the 23-year-old told Sport.
"I did not play every time last season, so we will have to wait and see how things go this year.
"It's not about exchanging roles with Bravo. Claudio was in great form last season.
"We will see what happens this season."
Ter Stegen kept 10 clean sheets in 21 appearances to guide the Catalans to Champions League and Copa del Rey glory last term.
