Barcelona want to strip club captain of his armband
Those in a position of power at La Liga giants Barcelona are ready to alleviate Marc-André ter Stegen of his duties as club captain. That's according to , who have on Friday provided an insight into the situation. The name of goalkeeper Ter Stegen has of course been a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya's capital throughout the summer to date. Unfortunately for the German himself, however, as much comes for less than positive reasons. After already slipping down the pecking order in Hansi Flick's squad following the arrival of Wojciech Szczęsny, Joan García's signing has since seen the 33-year-old's fall from grace continue this summer. The 33-year-old is understood to have responded poorly to his new situation, with Hansi Flick having been unimpressed by his behaviour over the latter weeks of last season. And as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media late this week is anything to go by, then as much looks set to cost Ter Stegen dear. As per a report from MD: 'FC Barcelona want to strip the German goalkeeper of his captain's armband. It's a mutual decision between the club and coaching staff due to the goalkeeper's attitude and because the team needs a valid interlocutor, along with Hansi Flick, Deco, and Joan Laporta, to discuss issues affecting the rest of the squad.'
