A post shared by Marc ter Stegen (@mterstegen1)<\/a><\/p> <\/div> <\/blockquote> <\/div>

With this intervention, the German aims to end the physical problems that have been affecting him, and it seems that he could be out of the playing field for three to four months.<\/p>

Injuries complicate Ter Stegen’s present at Bar\u00e7a<\/b><\/h2>

The current situation of the number ‘1’ goalkeeper of FC Barcelona<\/a> is not easy at all, since on September 22 of last year, on matchday 6 of LaLiga 2024\/25, the German goalkeeper suffered a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee, which kept him away from the playing field until May of this year.<\/p>

After his unfortunate physical setback, Barcelona went to the market for an established goalkeeper who would provide guarantees, so they signed Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny, who ended up keeping the starting position for the rest of the season.<\/p>

Thus, the physical problems of the M\u00f6nchengladbach native also meant that during the 2025 summer transfer window, the Barcelona team acquired the services of Joan Garc\u00eda, who is expected to be the new owner of the cul\u00e9 goal, while Szczesny will be the second, leaving MATS as the third option.<\/p>

Ter Stegen’s absence could help Bar\u00e7a sign Joan Garc\u00eda<\/h2>

Due to Marc-Andr\u00e9’s latest injury, if the player remains sidelined for four months or more, Bar\u00e7a could benefit from significant salary releases. According to internal calculations, the club could release up to 80% of the German goalkeeper’s salary.<\/p>

Ter Stegen, who earns around 14 million euros gross per year<\/strong>, would leave a margin of approximately 11.2 million euros, a figure that would allow Bar\u00e7a to amortize the registration of Joan Garc\u00eda without compromising the financial balance.<\/p>
