Barcelona have opened disciplinary proceedings against captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen, amid plenty of speculation over his future at the club, and his role as the leader of the team. The 33-year-old has recently claimed his relationship with the club is good, but the actions are speaking rather louder than his words.

The Blaugrana have decided to task their legal team with looking into potential sanctions for ter Stegen, claim MD, having revealed to the club that he has no intention of signing his consent for the club to submit an injury report to La Liga. After surgery on his back, Barcelona are keen to use the emergency injury rule to help register Joan Garcia, but they need the signature of ter Stegen to give his consent to share medical information.

Barcelona are yet to register new signings Marcus Rashford, Roony Bardghji or Joan Garcia, but with ter Stegen reportedly out for four to five months after surgery, can activate La Liga’s injury rule. If a player is out for four months, Liga sides can use 50% of their salary limit space during the transfer window to register a replacement, while that amount increases to 80% if the absence is projected to be more than five months.

In this instance, being a goalkeeper, Barcelona could only put that salary limit space towards registering Garcia or Wojciech Szczesny.
