Barcelona captain and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has announced that he will undergo surgery to resolve a running back issue. The decision can have a major impact on the transfer window of the Blaugrana and their ability to register players.
The club remains above their salary limit and has already signed Marcus Rashford and Joan Garcia for a total of € 25 million, with the Manchester United Man on loan, albeit with a salary of € 14 million. If Ter Stegen was in the long term, Barcelona could have focused on the long-term injury rule to possibly use up to 80% of the salary limit impact of Ter Stegen to register both players.
