Thursday, Barcelona confirmed the opening of a disciplinary procedure against Ter Stegen following his refusal to sign the medical document that the club intended to transmit to the Liga concerning its operation. As a result, he was also removed from his duties as captain.
Barcelona sought to use 80 % of TER Stegen's salary to recruit Joan Garcia, saying that the 33 -year -old would be unavailable for more than four months following a back injury. The player had initially refused, but he has since sold.
End of the saga
According to an official press release, Barcelona confirmed that Ter Stegen had signed the document requested to him. The disciplinary procedure is therefore completed and it was renewed in its functions as captain.
FC Barcelona announces that Marc-André Ter Stegen has signed the authorization allowing the club's medical services to process the compulsory medical report in Liga following its operation. The disciplinary file is closed and the player finds the capital of the first team with immediate effect.
Ter Stegen had hinted at his intention to appease tensions.
Earlier Friday, Ter Stegen published a press release in which he suggested his desire to appease FC Barcelona's requests to sign the necessary documents, which he did. All parties will now be able to turn the page, in the hope that relations can be restored in the coming weeks.
The liga can now validate the absence of Ter Stegen for more than four months, which would allow Barcelona to register Joan Garcia in her place. Thanks to the imminent transfer of Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr, the Catalans should be able to register several players in time for next week's opening match against Mallorca.
