Joan Garcia has become one of the most talked-about goalkeepers in Europe this summer. After a stellar season with Espanyol, the 23-year-old is drawing serious interest from several top clubs.
Barcelona’s Interest
Barcelona have made an early move. They want Garcia as a future replacement for Marc-André ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is nearing the twilight of his career, and the club is planning ahead.
Reports from Estadio Deportivo say Barcelona have already held internal discussions about Garcia. However, no agreement has been reached. The goalkeeper is still deciding where his future lies.
Premier League Clubs Monitoring the Situation
The delay has alerted clubs in England. Both Arsenal and Manchester City are monitoring the situation closely.
Arsenal are in the market for a new goalkeeper. David Raya is expected to remain first choice, but Aaron Ramsdale may leave this summer. Garcia would offer strong competition and depth.
Manchester City also admire Garcia. Pep Guardiola is reportedly interested in building for the future. With Ederson linked to a possible move to Saudi Arabia, Garcia could be part of a long-term plan.
Garcia Taking His Time
Sources close to the player suggest he’s not rushing. Garcia understands that his next move is crucial. While Barcelona remains the most likely destination, a Premier League switch is still possible.
He wants regular minutes and the right development path. If the offer from England promises both, a surprise move could happen.
Garcia’s next club could define the next chapter of his career. Whether he stays in Spain or heads to England, Europe’s top clubs are on high alert.
