Barcelona are considering signing Joan García, the goalkeeper currently under contract with Espanyol, for a reported €25m clause. The Catalan club’s initial plan is to loan the player out to another team after acquiring him.
Transfer Developments
Several clubs are vying for García’s signature, and no decision has been made at this stage, with all options remaining open. The player’s decision will also play a crucial role in determining his future. García, who plays as a goalkeeper, has been the subject of interest from other top clubs, including Arsenal, who had previously submitted a €20m bid for the player and reached a verbal agreement with him.
Previous Transfer Attempts
Arsenal’s efforts to sign García last summer were ultimately unsuccessful, with Espanyol demanding €30m for the player. The Gunners later secured Neto on loan after their bid for García was rejected. García’s style of play and former club history have made him an attractive prospect for top clubs.
