World Sports: If La Lion is determined to be injured for no more than 4 months, Barcelona will register with Huoan with personal guarantee

The World Sports reported that Barcelona is waiting for the La Liga Medical Commission to make a decision today or tomorrow, which will determine whether Ter Stegen's injury is a long-term injury. If confirmed, Barcelona can use a certain proportion of the high salary of German goalkeepers to complete the registration.

If the Medical Board determines that the goalkeeper is absent for five months or more, the club can use its 80% salary quota, and if it is four months, it will be reduced to 50%. If the injury is finally determined to be less than four months and lead to a miscarriage of Barcelona Plan A and the club has prepared Plan B, it is guaranteed by the Chairman and/or Board members.

Barca expects the Medical Committee to support its claim that it will release part of its salary space through the injury time of Ter Stegen. The top priority of the current registration work is to complete the registration for Joan Garcia. As the team led by Frick is about to start the first round of La Liga, only Penia has completed the registration, and Penia is not in Frick's plan.

If the conclusions of the Medical Committee are contrary to the club's expectations, Barcelona does not rule out the use of the final program, which is the personal guarantee of the board members. In fact, the club explained this plan to Joan Garcia's agent as early as the end of July, so even if Barcelona hopes to avoid using Plan B, the relevant plan is already in place.

In August 2022, Barcelona also encountered registration difficulties when introducing Conde from Sevilla. The registration was completed with the personal guarantees of Chairman Laporta and Financial Director Felan Olivi, with a guarantee amount of approximately 11 million euros. Months later (January 2023), the salary space that Pique left the team freed up to lift the guarantee.
