Spanish media: If Ter Stegen loses the captain s armband, De Jong will become Barcelona s first captain

August 5, Western media el desmarque reported that if Ter Stegen loses the captain's armband, De Jong will become the first captain.

Barcelona's farce this summer revolves around player registration and Ter Stegen. Ter Stegen was advised by the club to leave the team in order to free up salary space for registering players, but he refused. Barcelona is putting all kinds of pressure to push him away, one of which is his captain position. The club considered depriving Ter Stegen of the captain's armband, although in the locker room, Ter Stegen was still the captain. But after Ter Stegen's relationship with the club tense, it seems difficult to maintain his continued role as captain.

For this reason, the candidate for Barcelona's captain may change. If Ter Stegen no longer serves as the first captain, De Jong will become the first captain. The next pick will be Araujo or Rafinia, or it may also be the reverse order. Rafinia's prestige increased significantly last season and served as captain in many games. He is currently one of the locker room leaders and is responsible for leading young players.

If none of the above players can play, Pedri will be another candidate to wear the captain's armband. New changes may appear in Inigo Martinez. Although he hasn't played for a long time at Barcelona, he is one of the prestigious players in the locker room and may have taken on this role. He or Garvey will be the last two players in the captain's ranking. The dispute with Terstegen began in the early Xia. When rumors of Joan Garcia's transfer to Barcelona first appeared, people started talking about Ter Stegen being the redundant one. All of this report on him made him very upset, and Ter Stegen believes the club planned an action to discredit him.

Due to Telstegen's back injury and surgery, the club originally expected to free up some of his salary space, but this required him to be out for four months, and he did not agree with that. At present, he has refused to send his medical report to La Liga, allowing the league to assess whether the expected absence time of Barcelona is true.
