The Medical Commission of the Spanish League has accepted that the goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, recently operated on the back, will be absent at least 4 months on the ground.
Barcelona can breathe in relief. The medical commission of Laliga, consisting of 4 doctors, approved the medical report of Barcelona, which justifies the long-term absence of Marc-André Tergen.
Barcelona will use the long absence of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to record Joan Garcia
“Long term” means at least 4 months, so the Blaugrana group will request the use of the salary ceiling issued by the German goalkeeper to register the goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
The champion of Spain took Garcia from the local rival Espanyol, with 25 million euros, but could not register so far at the League because he would have exceeded the salary ceiling imposed on the club.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen had initially refused to sign Barcelona's medical report
The decision of the Medical Commission of the League thus ends a long saga that threatens to turn into a major crisis within the club, after Ter Stegen initially refused to sign Barcelona's medical report, after the back surgery.
The bosses had opened a file to the German international, with the captain's banner. But, in the end, he returned to the decision and signed the respective report, thus regaining his banner.
Barcelona has to register 3 players!
Barça solved a problem, but not all. He must also register the other newcomers, Marcus Rashford, Szczesny and Gerard Martín (Hector Fort, Bardghji and Bernal could be enrolled in the reserve team).
To do this, it is based on the money generated by selling the VIP lodges, 100 million euros, which were first introduced at the Gamper trophy, but which must be validated by the Crowe auditor and especially by Liga.
Barcelona relies on the money from the lodges sold and those in the agreement with RD Congo to score the other newcomers
This lever of 100 million euros, of which the club has so far received only 58 million euros, is essential to approach the 1: 1 rule and to expand the salary margin. Barça also hopes that Liga will also consider the controversial agreement with the Republic of Congo, announced at the end of July, in order to “promote football and culture of sport and peace.”
The club has not provided official figures, but it is estimated that it will receive 40 million euros distributed in 10 million heels, during the next four seasons. President Laporta has announced a hot week in terms of registrations, given that Barça begins on Saturday, in Mallorca, and August 15 is a non -working day due to a legal holiday.
