Espanyol goalkeeper Joan GarcĂa is reportedly on the verge of joining FC Barcelona in the coming weeks, marking a significant move in the summer transfer window.(Tribuna.com)
At 23, GarcĂa has emerged as one of Spain’s most promising young goalkeepers. His standout performances in La Liga, including consecutive “Save of the Month” awards in February and March 2025, have attracted attention from top European clubs. Barcelona sees him as a potential long-term successor to Marc-AndrĂ© ter Stegen, whose future at the club remains uncertain .(SportsCafe.in, Wikipedia)
While Espanyol has been reluctant to negotiate directly with Barcelona, the player’s âŹ25 million release clause makes a transfer feasible if the clause is met. Other clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester United, have shown interest in GarcĂa, but Barcelona appears to be leading the race for his signature .(Sports Mole)
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised GarcĂa as an “extraordinary goalkeeper” but has indicated that City is not pursuing him, reaffirming their confidence in current goalkeepers Ederson and Stefan Ortega .(Barca Blaugranes)
As negotiations progress, GarcĂa’s potential move to Barcelona could be finalized soon, positioning him as a key figure in the club’s future plans.
