(Figure: Instagram) On Friday, Barcelona renewed Marc-Andre Ter Stegen as the team’s captain after resolved the fitness dispute that led to a disciplinary measure against the German goalkeeper after his back in July 2025. The 33-year-old was originally undressed from his captain on Thursday for his alleged rejection.The conflict arose when Barcelona tried to have Ter Stegen classified as a long -term injury to La League, which would allow them to deduct part of his wages from the official wage law. Local media announced that this is part of the continuing fighting of the club to comply with the Spanish regulations on the financial fair play.The situation was solved late on Friday, when Ter Stegen signed the required paperwork, which made Barcelona to give a statement in which “disciplinary file is considered closed and the player with immediate effect will regain the first team captain”.Ter Stegen defended himself on Instagram and said, “In recent weeks, many things have been said – some of them are completely unfounded. Therefore, I feel that it is necessary to express its version of events with respect, yet clearly.”He also emphasized his willingness to cooperate: “I am fully willing to cooperate with the club management to solve the matter and provide the required permit.”The goalkeeper dealt with the club’s financial concerns and explained: “I would also like to explain that all signatures and renewal of the club’s contracts were completed over my operation. The decision to undergo the playground was fully approved by the club and always with the intention of preferring my health and long -term sports career, which are of course fully included.He added: “My commitment to these colors remains absolute,” while remarks that his operation should not affect “registering other colleagues, with whom I very much respect and look forward to sharing the dressing room for many seasons.”The Ter Stegen position in Barcelona is faced with the competition from Joan Garcia, 24 and 35 -year -old Wojciey Szczesna, who, after his performance during the successful League campaign, won an extension of the contract last season.
