Spain’s main team from the Catalonia region — FC Barcelona — is on the verge of making another important step in strengthening its squad. The Catalans are seriously aiming to sign Espanyol’s talented goalkeeper Joan Garcia, and according to the reputable Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, they have reached a positive outcome in negotiations with the player’s agents.
According to the source, Barcelona’s management has fully agreed on a five-year contract with the 24-year-old goalkeeper. Interestingly, the contract includes a motivating clause — if Joan Garcia is called up to the Spanish national team in the future, he will receive a special bonus. As of now, the final decision depends solely on the player himself.
However, interest in Garcia from other clubs remains strong. The young goalkeeper is being seriously targeted by several top European clubs: England’s Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa, Italy’s Napoli and Inter, and Germany’s Bayer. Each of these clubs has expressed willingness to engage in serious negotiations for the goalkeeper.
Currently, the player and his representatives must meet with all interested clubs and come to a final decision regarding next season’s team. However, insiders report that Barcelona is prepared to do everything possible to win this race, including paying the €25 million release clause included in the player’s contract.
Joan Garcia’s performances this season have attracted the attention of many football experts and fans. In 38 La Liga matches for Espanyol, he conceded 51 goals but kept a clean sheet in 8 games.
Garcia’s current contract with his club runs until the summer of 2028, and the player’s market value is estimated at €20 million by the leading transfer valuation platform Transfermarkt.
Signing Joan Garcia is highly important for Barcelona, as the club sees strengthening the goalkeeper position as one of its key priorities. Garcia is known for his skillful saves, quick reflexes, and excellent reading of the game. Bringing such a talented goalkeeper into the team could be a key to future success.
Fans and the football community are eagerly awaiting Garcia’s final decision. If this transfer goes through, it could significantly impact Barcelona’s championship ambitions next season. It may also mark another successful step in the club’s transfer policy.
