Ter Stegen makes a tantrum! Barcelona is now threatened without 7 players in the opening match of Laliga

Gilabola.com – Internal disputes in Barcelona’s body heats up ahead of the 2025/26 season. This time, the problem of centered on their main goalkeeper, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who was recovering from back surgery.

But it is not a matter of injury that is in the spotlight, but a complicated conflict surrounding the medical report and its financial role in registration of new players.

Barcelona Needs ‘Help’ Ter Stegen to Register New Players

Barcelona is currently facing problems in registering several new recruits to La Liga. The club hopes to use the rules of “Long -Term Injury Players” rules to register new goalkeeper Joan Garcia and extend the Wojciech Szczesny contract.

However, so that the rules can be activated, the player’s injury must last more than four months. Ter Stegen previously stated that it would only be absent for three months. This attitude prevents the club to take advantage of the vital rules gap.

Even worse, Ter Stegen refused to give permission so that his medical report was sent to the La Liga authority. Meanwhile, Barcelona insisted that the duration of its absence was four to five months – enough to meet the requirements for the use of injured player salary slots.

Ter Stegen was revoked from the position of Captain and was sanctioned

As a result of the deadlock, Barcelona took a drastic step. The club officially opened a disciplinary process against Ter Stegen and revoked its status as the team captain.

However, according to Marca’s report, Ter Stegen remained firm in his decision and did not show signs of changing his mind. He is said to still want to survive at Camp Nou for the 2025/26 season.

A big impact on Barcelona ahead of the inaugural match

This deadlock can bring great consequences for the Blaugrana. If the situation is not immediately resolved, up to seven players cannot appear in the opening match of the season against Mallorca on August 16.

The players who are threatened with absent are:

• Joan Garcia (Substitute goalkeeper)
• Wojciech szczesny (contract extension)
• Marcus Rashford (Summer Recruitment)
• Roony bardghji (talented young player)
• Marc Bernal and Gerard Martin (Need Re -Registration)
• Oriool Romeu (will be released, can loose the budget)

The release of this Martinez to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia recently gave a little additional space in the club’s salary limit. However, as long as Ter Stegen refuses cooperation, efforts to register new players will continue to be hampered.
