Barcelona's main goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, announced that he would need surgery on his back just a few weeks before the start of the season. This news surprised the club's management, as ter Stegen only informed the club after he had already made the decision.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the club had planned to sell ter Stegen during the summer transfer window or in the near future to reduce the salary fund and bring in new players. However, the unexpected news of ter Stegen’s injury and his concealment could affect other plans of the club.
Representatives of Barcelona have suggested that allowing ter Stegen time to recover and providing him with the necessary time could create new opportunities to increase the salary fund and register new players. At the same time, specialists believe that ter Stegen will need at least 5 months to fully recover from his injury.
Currently, ter Stegen’s situation and his specific issues are creating new opportunities for registering new players, as he may be given more time according to the pre-established schedule.
Furthermore, ter Stegen's relationship with Barcelona has deteriorated recently. This is due to the fact that head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has stated that he does not see him as the main goalkeeper, which has led to tensions.
