Ter Stegen becomes a burden for Barcelona. |
According to Marca , Barcelona want a definitive solution, but the German goalkeeper is still hesitant. Ter Stegen has until July 24 to decide whether to undergo surgery on his lower back. This is an area he has often felt persistent pain since returning to training at the beginning of the season.
Ter Stegen's injury is not a new problem. In December 2023, he had surgery in Bordeaux by specialist doctor Amelie Leglise, in a context where the club kept all information absolutely confidential. However, less than two years later, the nightmare of back pain returned.
Barca's position is clear that if the pain does not subside in the coming days, surgery is the only option. They believe it is a solution to two problems at once. Ter Stegen will have time to rest and recover, and it will also allow Barca to register new signing Joan Garcia, using 80% of the German's salary.
However, Ter Stegen himself is not keen on this option. He wants to wait a bit longer and will try light training in the next few days to test the actual feeling.
The trauma of injury weighs heavily on Ter Stegen's mind. Less than a year ago, he had to undergo surgery for a severe injury to the patellar tendon in his right knee, almost missing the entire season. Ter Stegen feared that surgery would leave him with no way back.
Barcelona are also in a bit of a mess right now. Some sources in the dressing room say the 32-year-old goalkeeper has been "very strange" since returning from the summer break, constantly complaining of pain and being somewhat distant. His recent conversation with coach Hansi Flick is said to have been less than pleasant.
If Ter Stegen refuses to undergo surgery, Barcelona will be in a difficult position. His high wages make signing Garcia almost impossible. The relationship between the veteran goalkeeper and the club could then be so fractured that it could have consequences on many fronts – sporting , financial and in the dressing room.
