Each team: Ter Stegen will be absent for 4-6 months, and Barcelona can register new players with 80% of his salary limit

According to the Daily Sports Daily, Ter Stegen may be absent for 4-6 months after undergoing surgery, and Barcelona can use 80% of his salary to register a new player.

Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen may undergo back surgery and is expected to be out for 4-6 months. This will cause Barcelona to stop registering for him in La Liga in the new season and resolve the registration issue of Barcelona's new players this summer. Once Ter Stegen is suspended from registration due to surgery, it can help Barcelona free up enough salary space to register for Joan Garcia and other new players.

Currently, Ter Stegen and Barcelona's contract expires in 2028, and his annual salary is about 16 million euros. According to Article 77 of the La Liga Budget Ordinance, Barcelona can use 80% of Ter Stegen's salary to register for new players. Considering that the annual salary of new players is not as high as Ter Stegen, Barcelona's new player registration problem is expected to be solved. In addition, Ter Stegen's absence also helped Barcelona adjust their financial situation to better meet the requirements of the 1:1 rule of La Liga.

Barcelona had a similar situation last season, when Christensen missed for several months due to a serious injury and did not return until the end of the season. After his absence, Barcelona used Christensen's salary to register two new players, Ormo and Paul Victor.
