The rift between Ter Stegen and Barcelona is getting deeper. |
The source of the problem was Ter Stegen's surgery in Bordeaux. Despite the presence of Barca's medical team in the operating room, the post-operative process quickly revealed a lack of trust.
When the club doctors offered to visit his home to check on his recovery, the German goalkeeper immediately refused, stating that he would not accept any home visits. Instead, he agreed to follow the treatment regimen at the Ciutat Esportiva training center, under the framework and conditions under his own control.
Recently, Barca's leadership continued to increase pressure. They temporarily stripped Ter Stegen of the captaincy and continuously threatened to apply disciplinary measures.
A meeting to “cool down” the situation between the 33-year-old goalkeeper, his team of advisors and the sporting department was planned, but in the end it did not take place. According to many sources, Ter Stegen himself is no longer interested in any dialogue.
The conflict became more serious when Ter Stegen firmly refused to sign a medical report sent to La Liga, a document that could confirm he would be absent for more than four months. This confirmation was a condition for the club to remove the German goalkeeper from the playing list and free up 80% of the salary fund for other deals. Without the player's signature, the club's plan to add personnel was almost blocked.
Ter Stegen himself and surgeon Amelie Leglise believe he will be back much sooner than the four-month mark suggested by the club. It is not just a disagreement over recovery time, but also a breakdown of trust between a key goalkeeper and the club he has been with for almost a decade.
If the situation is not resolved, the Ter Stegen crisis could become the harshest test of Barcelona's crisis management ability in the new season.
