How Barcelona veteran’s potential surgery could help club register new signing

July 17, 2025

Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen is currently weighing up the possibility of undergoing back surgery.

The German goalkeeper has been dealing with ongoing discomfort, and surgery might be the best solution to fix the problem properly. However, if he chooses this route, Ter Stegen could be out of action for around four months.

This situation has put Barcelona in a difficult position, but it might also offer them a way to register new signing Joan Garcia.

Right now, Barça are struggling with La Liga’s financial fair play rules and don’t have enough margin to register Garcia.

Blessing in disguise
Interestingly, it must be noted that his name briefly appeared by mistake on La Liga’s website under the list of Barcelona players.

The league quickly corrected this error, but it was enough to spark conversations about the club’s plans.
