Joan García, a goalkeeper, is expected to join Barcelona today as his agents arrive in the city to finalise the transfer. The player, known for his shot-stopping ability, is set to sign a five-year contract with the club. According to reports, Barcelona will pay his €25m release clause to complete the deal. García’s style of play is characterised by his ability to make crucial saves, a trait that has been evident during his time with his former club, Espanyol.
García’s move to Barcelona marks a significant development in the club’s goalkeeper lineup. The player’s transfer has been in the works for some time, with previous reports suggesting that Barcelona were keen to sign him. Notably, García had previously attracted interest from other top clubs, including Arsenal, who reportedly submitted a €20m bid for the player in August 2024 and were said to have reached a verbal agreement with him. However, it appears that Barcelona’s offer was ultimately successful in securing the player’s services.
