Deprive the captain of the armband + no ball to play! Barcelona forced the meritorious superstar to leave the team

Barcelona's two major signings this summer are close to being completed. Goalkeeper Garcia transferred from Espanyol to Barcelona with a 25 million euro termination clause, and it was only a matter of time before Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams joined, and his termination fee was about 60 million euros.

After buying people, Barcelona needs to face a difficult problem: they must sell some of their players to make room for salary. The club's current total salary exceeds the salary cap limit set by the La Liga, and high-paying players on the team need to be cleared as soon as possible. In this case, captain Ter Stegen naturally became the player Barcelona most hoped to send away.

Terstegen's contract does not expire until 2028, and he is one of the highest paid players on the team. This is related to the club's salary structure during Bartomeu's administration. When Laporta was re-elected as Barcelona president in 2021, he revealed that the club's total salary is as high as 110% of its income.

Telstegen renewed his contract with Barcelona during the 2020 epidemic. At that time, his contract extension helped the club through financial difficulties, but also caused a delay in payment of huge salaries. After returning to the presidential position, Laporta renegotiated a new contract with Ter Stegen in 2023 to spread the huge salary to pay for several seasons in the coming season.

It is understood that Terstegen's total revenue in the last three years was 42 million euros, which does not include bonuses and floating clauses related to performance.

Sources revealed that Barcelona is eager to get rid of Ter Stegen's big contract, and if any team wants to introduce him, Barcelona is even willing to let him go for free.

Barcelona believes that Ter Stegen will leave eventually. Because he stays at the team, he will face a situation where he has no ball to play, which will inevitably lead to him being unable to represent Germany as the starting goalkeeper in the 2026 World Cup.

But even so, Terstegen still didn't want to leave. His personal life has also settled here, and he is determined to continue to stay in Barcelona's competitive main position. Earlier this month, at the pre-match press conference between Germany and Portugal's UEFA European League semi-finals, Ter Stegen made it clear: "No one in the club communicated with me anything. I only know that I will definitely be in Barcelona next season."

According to previous news from the Daily Sports Daily, Ter Stegen felt that he had been betrayed by Barcelona's senior management, and his anger value had reached its peak. If you want him to leave the team, Barcelona must pay the remaining salary.

Telstegen believes that Barcelona's top leaders have not been honest with him, nor have they disclosed the club's plans to him, and have also leaked information to the media and put pressure on him while also destroying his image. If Barcelona's senior management can communicate with him sincerely, he can negotiate to leave the team, but the Barcelona's senior management's actions made him extremely disappointed and angry.

Faced with Ter Stegen's "discooperation", Barcelona decided to put further pressure on him. According to World Sports, Barcelona's senior executives have decided to strip Ter Stegen of the captain's armband and let coach Flick choose a new captain again.

Next season, Garcia will be one goal and Szczesny will play two goals. Even if Ter Stegen stays in the team, he will not play an important role. Barcelona executives believe that the captain is an important figure in the locker room and should not be held by someone who has been abandoned by the club.

Barcelona will start pre-season training on July 13, and it is expected that Frick will communicate with Ter Stegen at that time, and his situation will become clear after that.

Xiao Ou's opinion is that if he leaves Barcelona, ​​Ter Stegen's next stop is not clear. Transfers in La Liga are basically impossible, and going to Real Madrid is unimaginable. Atletico Madrid already has Oblack, and the La Liga also stipulates that free transfer players must receive at least 50% of the original contract salary.

Although there are rumors in the Saudi League, recent operations show that they prefer players under the age of 30. Neuer already plays the main role in Bayern in Germany, and the salaries of other teams cannot be matched, and there is no team that is obviously suitable for the Premier League. There is no clear solution to the future problems of Ter Stegen in the short term. Let's wait and see, alas!
