The Saga with Barcelona and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has taken various turns on Friday and an amicable resolution has now been reached between the two parties after developments in the last 24 hours.
On Thursday, Barcelona confirmed that they had opened the disciplinary procedure against Ter Stegen as a result of the fact that he refused to sign the medical document that the club intended to transfer to La Liga with regard to his operation. That is why he was also stripped of the captain.
Barcelona wanted to use 80% of Ter Stegen's salary to register Joan Garcia, with their conviction that the 33-year-old will be out of operation for more than four months after injury. The player initially refused, but he has now admitted.
According to an official statement, Barcelona has confirmed that Ter Stegen has now signed the documentation that he has been asked. As a result, the disciplinary procedures have ended and he has now been reappointed as a club captain.
“FC Barcelona reports that Marc-André ter Stegen signed the authorization for the club's medical services to process the compulsory medical report in La Liga after his operation. The disciplinary file is closed and the player restores the leader of the first team with an immediate effect.”
Earlier on Friday, Ter Stegen published a statement in which he hinted to his desire to sign the wishes of Barcelona to sign the necessary documentation, and he has now done that. All parties will now be able to leave this behind, with the hope that the relationships can be restored in the coming weeks.
The situation with Ter Stegen has been completely bizarre and has been the case with many things in recent years, it would have been avoided if Barcelona's financial situation had not been so bad. Nevertheless, it is a problem that has been moved by.
