The club also had not issued a statement before the 33-year-old came out with his update.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona not solely reliant on Ter Stegen for Joan Garcia registration<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundodeportivo.com\/futbol\/fc-barcelona\/20250725\/1002505850\/barca-plan-alternativo-inscribir-joan-garcia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mundo Deportivo<\/a>, Barcelona believe the move by Ter Stegen may be a tactic to complicate Joan Garcia\u2019s registration, as only injuries lasting four months or more allow a club to use 80% of a player\u2019s salary towards registering new signings under La Liga\u2019s rules.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, Barcelona maintain that it does not need to rely on Ter Stegen\u2019s absence to register the former Espanyol goalkeeper. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the La Liga champions believe that, in addition to other exit operations already completed, revenue recorded by auditors from VIP seat sales \u2013 whether at Spotify Camp Nou or Montjuic \u2013 would be sufficient to proceed with Joan Garcia\u2019s registration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5-e1750427150614.png\" alt=\"Joan Garcia with Joan Laporta\" class=\"wp-image-171194\"  \/>Barcelona treating Joan Garcia\u2019s registration as priority. (Photo courtesy: X\/FCBarcelona)<\/p>\n<p>If needed, even a special financial guarantee from the club president or members of the board could also be explored.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia\u2019s camp already informed<\/p>\n<p>This plan has already been communicated to Garcia and his agent to reassure them, with <a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-sporting-director-holds-two-hour-meeting-with-new-signings-agent-amid-registration-woes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deco meeting with his camp last night<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the matter of Ter Stegen will ultimately be assessed by La Liga\u2019s medical tribunal. If, following surgery, Barcelona\u2019s medical staff conclude that his absence will exceed four months, the salary relief will naturally be applied to Garcia\u2019s registration.<\/p>\n<p>If that is not the case, the Blaugrana are prepared to activate the alternative plan. Garcia\u2019s case is the most urgent, and his registration takes priority over those of Wojciech Szczesny and Marcus Rashford.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia has impressed during pre-season training and is considered a strategic signing. The 24-year-old ace is expected to start in goal from matchday one, on Saturday 16 August, against Mallorca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona did not take well the statement issued by Marc-Andre ter Stegen in which he announced his decision&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":93031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[1386,4444,5727,54921,4445,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-93030","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-barcelona-news","10":"tag-fc-barcelona","11":"tag-joan-garcia","12":"tag-marc-andre-ter-stegen","13":"tag-soccer","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114917341449782805","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
