It will be for Marc-André Ter Stegen At FC Barcelona Always more uncomfortable. The goalkeeper is also left out of the jersey numbers.
The dispute between national goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen and FC Barcelona is richer. The 33-year-old was the only player in the current squad to receive no rear number for the coming season. This emerges from the official registration list, which was published on Friday on the homepage of the league (laliga.com). The Spanish newspaper “Marca” then wrote “bullying”.
Ter Stegen had always worn the number one number one since his arrival in Barcelona in summer 2014. The step only briefly follows the announcement that the club has temporarily withdrawn the captain’s office to the long -standing goalkeeper.
Previously, disciplinary proceedings had been initiated on Tuesday. After his back surgery, Ter Stegen apparently refuses to sign a declaration of consent, through which Barça should forward the injury and operating report to the Medical Commission of the Spanish league. Without the report, the league cannot judge how severe the keeper’s injury is. The club is said to have switched on its legal department, and internal sanctions could occur.
Ter Stegen had quantified his downtime due to the operation in an Instagram contribution with “about three months”. He might also want to set a club policy sign: Barcelona may only use 80 percent of his salary for registering new players if Ter Stegen fails for at least four months.
In addition to the German goalkeeper, Ansu Fati and Iñigo Martínez are also listed without a number. However, Fati has already been awarded to Monaco, Martínez is about to move to the Saudi first division club Al-Nassr.
The names of the two goalkeepers Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny, which have not yet been registered, are missing in the official message list. García had recently been hired by Espanyol Barcelona for 25 million euros. In contrast, Iñaki Peña, who shouldn’t have a future in the squad, is managed with number 13. On August 16, Barcelona starts the new season at RCD Mallorca, and the last test will take place against Como on Sunday.
