Barcelona Hope Ter Stegen reconsidered a stand on sharing medical report as tensions rise

Tensions are quietly rising in Barcelona after recent reports have shown that Marc-Andre has refused to sign a medical document that the club wants to send to La Liga.

The decision of the German keeper can directly affect the registration of Joan Garcia, which is set to temporarily replace it if La Liga confirms that the injury of Ter Stegen is in the long term.

The issue revolves around a medical report prepared by the club, which must be submitted to the medical committee of La Liga.

If La Liga certifies the injury as long-term defined if more than four months of the club may register a replacement, with up to 80% of the wages of Ter Stegen used for the registration of the new player.

Ter Stegen has so far refused to sign the document, so that the process remains in the dark.

Barcelona hopes to reach a peaceful solution

It should be noted that initial internal discussions have included or disciplinary measures must be taken against Ter Stegen. Although refusal to share medical information is not a common problem, the club regards its decision as a serious matter.

That said, every disciplinary move would require legal support and Barça is carefully involved.

Now, as reported by SPORTA meeting between Ter Stegen and the club, possibly including his legal team, is planned for today or tomorrow.

Barcelona hopes that the German keeper will be present and there he will reconsider his decision by ultimately signing the report.

Barcelona is in shock

Barcelona is planning to make it clear to Stegen that this situation has never happened before in La Liga. Players with long -term injuries have always worked together in such procedures.

The earlier public statement by the goalkeeper that he would only be three months makes the club’s case complicates because it weakens their request to register a replacement.

In the end, Barça believes that they can still submit the report without the signature of Ter Stegen if necessary, but hope that it will not happen there.
