Overview
- Marc-André ter Stegen agreed to submit his medical report, ending disciplinary proceedings and having his captaincy restored before the Joan Gamper Trophy match.
- The club plans to use LaLiga’s injury-dispensation rule to convert 80% of Ter Stegen’s salary into registration space, provided he is ruled out for at least four months.
- Goalkeeper Joan García, forward Marcus Rashford and winger Roony Bardghji remain unregistered, putting their availability for Barcelona’s August 16 opener in doubt.
- President Joan Laporta warned this week will be ‘intense’ as Barcelona races to close VIP-seat deals and pursue further player exits to comply with the league’s 1:1 salary-cap rules.
- With Camp Nou’s modernisation delayed, Barcelona played their Gamper Trophy at the Johan Cruyff Stadium and face uncertainty over early home fixtures until accounting targets are met.
