This is the FCBN cover for today, Wednesday, August 6, 2025: Ter Stegen's refusal to authorize the sending of his medical report to LaLiga blocks key registrations such as Joan García's and jeopardizes Barça's planning

Cover of FC BARCELONA NEWS for Wednesday, August 06, 2025: Freshly arrived from his Asian tour, the Blaugrana team has encountered an unexpected setback: Marc-André ter Stegen's refusal to sign the necessary consent for LaLiga to receive the official medical report on his injury. The situation is not minor. Without that signature, the club cannot activate article 77 of the economic regulations, which is key to freeing up salary mass and registering players like Joan García.

From the Camp Nou offices, it is insisted that the goalkeeper's attitude, shielded in data protection, goes against the collective interest. They also argue that he himself publicly announced his three-month leave. LaLiga, however, remains firm: without the German's approval, there will be no validation of the report. The tug-of-war is served and the club is already studying legal avenues to resolve what is beginning to seem like more than a simple medical disagreement.
