Under La Liga rules, a player must be sidelined for at least four months before the club is permitted to bring in a replacement outside of the regular transfer windows.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Barcelona nor Ter Stegen have made public statements, but multiple reports indicate growing frustration on both sides.

Although Ter Stegen\u2019s current deal runs until 2028, Barcelona are rumored to be exploring ways to part ways with the high-earning goalkeeper much sooner than planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rift has emerged between Barcelona and their long-serving goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with the club reportedly angry over a recent social media [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":494663,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[17224,24769],"news_category":[137,14235,16715],"gn_keywords":[17560,24766,26247],"acf":{"news_source":"","link_picture":"","announce":"The club is even considering terminating Ter Stegen's contract earlier in order to balance the salary budget","video":[]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/494662"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494662"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/494662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":494664,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/494662\/revisions\/494664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494662"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=494662"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=494662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
