Barcelona does not rule out stricter measures against the Lions, believing that players are angry with economic reasons

August 5 According to World Sports, Barcelona believes that Ter Stegen's refusal to authorize the provision of medical reports violates data protection regulations and has initiated disciplinary procedures and does not rule out stricter measures through law.

reported that Barcelona still maintains a reconciliational attitude towards Ter Stegen and hopes to arrange a meeting to convince him to change his decision. However, over time, the willingness to reconcile gradually faded because it turned out that Ter Stegen refused to authorize medical reports to act obviously out of malicious intentions, and he tried to hinder the registration of Joan-Garcia and Szczesni, which would force him to leave Barcelona.

Barcelona believes that Ter Stegen has pushed the situation to extremes and is unwilling to make any concessions. This matter has now been handed over to the club's legal committee and the most severe measures are not ruled out. From a legal perspective, Barcelona believes that they are at the commanding heights and can even fire players and are willing to accept legal lawsuits.

Telste simply did not respond to the call from the club doctor asking him to sign a medical report on Monday, but instead informed the club through his agent that he would not sign. The player claimed that the data protection law gave him the right to refuse the authorization to sign a medical report, which surprised Barcelona because it was himself who announced without the club's consent that he would be absent for three months due to injury, and the player was the first to violate the rules. Previously, Barcelona did not give a specific recovery time after he underwent the surgery, but only indicated "re-operation" to indicate that this was a recurrence of the old injury.

Although the player's medical data is personal privacy and requires the player's own consent to be shared, so far, no player has refused to provide medical reports to the league. In addition, Barcelona did not clearly give a specific injury time in its medical report, but instead described the injury situation in detail and estimated the time of the truce, which will eventually be decided by the medical committee of La Liga. More importantly, if Ter Stegen returns with medical permission before receiving medical permission for four months (this time node allows the release of 50% of his salary to be used for new players registration) or five months (80%), Barcelona will face a huge fine.

And Barcelona also noticed that the main reason for Ter Stegen's anger was economic problems. Because he failed to participate in the last round of La Liga last season against Bilbao, Ter Stegen failed to reach a 60% appearance rate, thus losing 3.5 million euros prize money. Later, he learned that the club had signed Joan Garcia, and Ter Stegen decided to oppose the club to prevent the registration of new players, rather than actively recovering from injuries and competing for the main position. Although Barcelona suggested that he change his environment, his contract only expires in 2028 and his salary is also very high, so he could have chosen to stay and compete fairly.
