Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has played down speculation that he is set for a move away from Barcelona after insisting he's happy with life at the Nou Camp.
The goalkeeper, who plays regularly in the Champions League for the club but has made just a handful of appearances in La Liga since joining in 2014, has been linked with a summer move to Liverpool.
'I am very happy and want to stay here, with the life I have,' Ter Stegen told Barca TV.

Ter Stegen replacing Claudio Bravo after the latter got injured against Real Betis last month
'You can never relax and always have to give everything. Both I, Claudio [Bravo] and Jordi [Masip] want to play and we work every week to do so.'
'I think that this idea is also good for the team because we are always ready.'
Ter Stegen, 24, is unlikely to feature in Barcelona's last two league games of the season, but is set to start the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla later this month.
Barcelona host Espanyol on Sunday hoping to take a step closer to securing the La Liga title. They currently are level on points with Atletico Madrid and one ahead of Real Madrid, although they have a superior head-to-head record against both.
Ter Stegen is set to be understudy to Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer at Euro 2016 this summer
'The team is in good condition and there are doors open for us to win both titles,' said Ter Stegen.
'I know what I can do and what the team can do. We train every day to be in the situation we're in. It's in our hands.'
Ter Stegen is also in line to be a part of the Germany squad that travels to Euro 2016 this summer, playing understudy to Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
