Overview

• LaLiga’s medical commission ruled that Marc-André ter Stegen meets criteria for a long-term injury with an absence of at least four months.
• Barcelona can now reallocate up to 80 percent of ter Stegen’s wages under salary-fair-play rules to register Joan García.
• The club has announced it will “unverzüglich” register García as its new first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Saturday’s opener at Mallorca.
• Ter Stegen regained his captaincy and ended a disciplinary dispute after consenting to forward his post-surgery medical report.
• Registration of other summer arrivals, including Wojciech Szczesny and Marcus Rashford, remains pending due to ongoing wage-cap constraints.
