Marc ter Stegen slams fake news
Marc ter Stegen’s statement came after journalist Juliana Canet, speaking on Catalunya Radio, claimed that he had been living at the five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel in Barcelona for two months following Daniela’s alleged affair. According to Canet, Ter Stegen used home renovations as a cover for his decision to move out.
However, the Barcelona star has categorically denied these allegations, insisting that their separation was mutual and had nothing to do with anyone else.
“I am shocked and disappointed of the poor management and lack of Leadership and Control at Catalunya Radio & 3Cat Group - distributing false news and violating personal rights. Journalists Juliana Canet, Roger Carandell and Marta Montaner are liars that have distributed false news, offending my wife Daniela and her reputation publicly in a very bad manner. There has not been any infidelity of Daniela. No third person involved. Fact,” he wrote on social media.
