Marc-André ter Stegen himself may refuse the medical report that Barcelona is preparing to submit to La Liga.
Yesterday, Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen underwent waist surgery. According to relevant regulations, if La Liga determines that his absence will exceed four months, Barcelona will be able to complete the registration of García in accordance with the rules.
There is a possibility that Marc-André ter Stegen will reject this medical report from Barcelona. Because if the club wants to share the player's medical data with the La Liga Medical Committee, it must first obtain the player's own consent. If Marc-André ter Stegen does not agree, Barcelona will not be able to submit this report.
To proceed with this process, Barcelona must provide an important document, namely a consent form signed by the goalkeeper, agreeing to share his medical information with the external medical team. However, without Marc-André ter Stegen's permission, La Liga cannot verify the injury status, and Barcelona will also be unable to use the rule that allows the club to use 80% of the injured player's salary to register a replacement.
Although the relationship between Marc-André ter Stegen and the club is somewhat tense, he publicly announced that he would undergo surgery and stated that he would only be absent for three months before the club would make any formal communication.
Despite the uncertainty, Barcelona still hopes that Marc-André ter Stegen can cooperate and that La Liga will approve their request. Since García is waiting for the exact situation, the club cannot afford further complications.
Although this possibility is not very high, the "battle" between Marc-André ter Stegen and the club continues. He has publicly refuted the official medical report before.
