Teshifu signed and submitted a medical report, Barcelona restored its captain status, and Inigo left in vain?

The conflict between Ter Stegen and Barcelona almost became a "big drama" this summer window, but it only took three days from Barcelona's revocation of his captain position to the German goalkeeper surrendering his signature. On August 7, because Ter Stegen refused to sign and authorize the medical report to La Liga, Barcelona officially announced that he would revoke his captain status and would initiate a disciplinary investigation. On August 9, Ter Stegen issued a statement expressing his willingness to cooperate with the club to sign and authorize the provision of medical reports, and Barcelona later issued an announcement to restore its captain status. The root of the conflict between Ter Stegen and Barcelona is still his contract issue. Currently, the German goalkeeper and Barcelona have three years to go on. Barcelona signed Garcia from Espanyol this summer window, and Ter Stegen's position cannot be guaranteed. It is reported that Barcelona had previously provided a contract termination agreement, willing to pay Ter Stegen for one year's salary to exchange for players for termination, but was rejected. The German goalkeeper then chose to undergo lumbar surgery and rest for 3 months. He will definitely not be able to leave the team this summer window.

The key reason why Barcelona initiated a disciplinary investigation is that Ter Stegen refused to provide medical reports. Barcelona hopes that the player's injury period is more than 4 months, and they can activate the injury clauses of the La Liga to free up salary space to register for other players. Although Ter Stegen said in his statement: "All signings and contract renewals of the club are completed before my surgery. Therefore, I can never think that my surgery will be related to registering new teammates." But the actual situation is likely to be that Barcelona wants to get a salary space, and Ter Stegen is not willing to cooperate with the club.

Any player hopes to get a stable start, and the same is true for Ter Stegen. Unfortunately, in Barcelona's future plans, there is no position for Ter Stegen, and the players also choose to confront the club in their own way. However, it can also be seen from the two recent announcements that Ter Stegen chose to compromise and Barcelona has also restored his captain status. However, Barcelona central defender Inigo chose to leave the team this summer window. As one of the team's best performers last season, his departure still had a significant impact on the team, and it is also believed that it is related to Ter Stegen's refusal to authorize.

Judging from the current news, Inigo had the idea of leaving the team last season, but Frick came forward to try to keep the veteran. Inigo finally chose to stay in the team, but the contract terms included the terms of playing football in Saudi Arabia, which is also the reason why Barcelona is willing to give up. Inigo, who is 34 years old, performed well at Barcelona last season. The player's age has entered the end of his career. It is completely understandable to choose Saudi Arabia's high salary. However, how Barcelona finds a suitable replacement, Frick and the management still need to make efforts.
