The judicial battle between the FC Barcelona y Ter Stegen It has no symptoms that it will be resolved by easy way. As the German goalkeeper Name to deliver your report from your injury To the League Medical Commission, the Barca club opened a sanctioning file when considering that it is an attempt to boycott institutional interests. However, the German has the pan by the handle if they send their part without their consent.
Joan Laporta's plan was running simple: using Marc's decline to use 80% of his salary to register Joan García. The Catalan was chosen to be the first goalkeeper of the team, but the financial crisis means that official matches with Hansi Flick cannot play. In the last hours, the club has been considered to send it unilaterally, and that is where Ter Stegen could sue Barça.
To do this, the freedoms collected in the Data Protection Lawwhere it is established that «the legislation says that is in your right not to give these medical data», According to a lawyer specializing in Sport. In other words, in the event that Barcelona did it after opening the file, Ter Stegen could respond with a lawsuit before the judge to knock the Laporta attacks.
Possible Barça answers if Ter Stegen denunciates
Instead, Barça could also use legislation in its favor not to be involved in more judicial scandals. One of them would be to benefit from «Sensitive data processing is allowed in the event that your employment contract or occupational risk prevention be breached». Via I would use to answer that Ter Stegen wants to harm the club.
Another would be to justify that it was Marc himself who publicly communicated on social networks his part of injury and the duration of it, so FC Barcelona I could send them to the league after the German previously shared it To everyone. A less likely path because it is a statement in which the data is not entirely exact.
The last one would be that Barça, for preventive or labor medicine purposes, may argue that it could Treat these protected data, be destined to evaluate work capacity from Ter Stegen and that, for this, needs the part.
The AFE defends the player
If Laporta already has complicated to knock Marc's strategy, in recent hours the AFE (Association of Spanish Footballers) He would have put in touch With the goalkeeper to convey that It will help you in everything necessary To protect your rights.
They even get further and have reassured him with him sanctioning filesince they consider that does not have any type of route, since the data protection law is above of the institutional and sports interests of a club, as reported from The SER chain. The battle between both sides tense the rope more and more. Movements are expected, but not the short term that benefits the two.
