Posse for national goalkeeper: Relaxation in a dispute with Barça: Ter Stegen again captain

In the dispute between Marc-André Ter Stegen and FC Barcelona there is an agreement that could pave the way for a competitor of the national soccer goalkeeper. The 33-year-old, which was longer due to an injury, gave in with his employer in the twist and still approved the forwarding of his medical data to the league.

In return, the Spanish champion hired the disciplinary procedure initiated against the German keeper, Barça said. In addition, Ter Stegen with immediate effect is captain of the team again.

Opportunity for new number one

If the league like the club comes to the conclusion that Ter Stegen fails for at least four months after its back operation, his club could just be registered in time for the Catalan’s goal in the goal of the Catalan. Because only in the event of such a minimum loss can the association be used in accordance with the financial fair play rules applicable in Spain, to register a part of the default player’s salary to register a new player.

The Catalans had signed García in summer as the new number one of Espanyol Barcelona for around 25 million euros. As long as he is not registered, he must not play. The Spanish specialist newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” therefore wrote from a “ceasefire” for the advantage of everyone.

Dispute after escalation enclosed

Ter Stegen himself had spoken of a downtime of just three months after his recent back surgery in a social media post. Because the ex-Gladbacher had apparently refused his club afterwards to forward his injury report to the medical commission of the league, the great zoff had occurred.

In order to put pressure on the footbridge, the association of coach Hansi Flick had initiated a disciplinary proceedings against the goalkeeper and withdrawn the function as captain. Now there is the U -turn.

Ter Stegen defends itself

Just a few hours earlier, the professional had spoken publicly for the first time in two weeks. The 33-year-old feels incorrectly presented, as he explained in a detailed Instagram statement. Many things were said about him and “some of them completely baseless,” wrote Ter Stegen.

He continues to feel a deep affection for the club, the city and the fans and want to find a common solution, the goalkeeper understood. This solution seems to have been found.

The sporting situation for Ter Stegen at Barça remains questionable: Since the club is obviously no longer planning as a regular, the German national goalkeeper is strongly under pressure one year before the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. “In the end he is our number one,” said national coach Julian Nagelsmann recently about the 33 -year -old – “if he is healthy and the number one in the club”.
