Barcelona received the news on Wednesday that goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen would be excluded for four months. Although the Germany International announced that he would be back after three months, Barcelona would enable Liga's emergency rule to activate, so that they can use a percentage of Ter Stegen's salary limit space to register other players.
However, Ter Stegen will have the last word, says Jordi Ardopd, of the medical expert committee of La Liga. He told RAC1 (via Sport) so much and noticed that Barcelona to activate the rule for emergency injuries must sign the documents to share the club's medical information. If Ter Stegen did not agree with the medical report, he would essentially be able to activate Barcelona's attempts to activate the rule that are crucial in their attempt to register the replacement of Ter Stegen, Joan Garcia.
A similar order of events unfolded last season, when veteran Wojciech Szczesny was signed from retirement. Barcelona was able to use 80% of the amount that Reden earned to register an emergency replacement, but Cadena SER explains that the rule is different if the German injury takes place during the transfer window. In that case, Barcelona can only use 50% of his salary amount to register a new player.
In the meantime, one of Barcelona's negotiation ships with which Ter Stegen could convince him to have him bank, with the 33-year-old desperate to play the World Cup 2026 with Germany. But in Germany, Bild reports that Bayern Munich -Veteran Manuel Neuer could return to the international duty to play in the US when asked. Hoffenheim -goalkeeper Oliver Baumann is also a candidate to compete next summer to the number one place, and he gets a chance in the remaining luminaires of Germany in 2025.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed that the team will vote for their captains next season, but Cadena Ser will continue that if it was up to the hierarchy in the club, they would have removed them as captain. He is accused of trying to bully Szczesny and Inaki Pena towards the end of last season, while trying to get his starting place back, once again declared suitable. It is also noted that he is not the most popular figure in the dressing room.
One of the reasons why Ter Stegen is frustrated about Barcelona, outside their attempts to expel him in favor of Garcia, was leaking reports about his character on the press. The above seems to fit in that description, and similar happened with Frenkie de Jong, when Barcelona tried to force the Dutchman.
