FC Barcelona have completed the signing of Joan Garcia, the breakout star of city rivals Espanyol. The Spanish goalkeeper joins the Blaugrana for €25 million (£21 million) after a standout season, beating interest from both Arsenal and Newcastle.
Garcia (24) has signed a six-year deal running until 2031. Fresh off winning Olympic gold in Paris, he’s seen as a long-term solution between the posts for Barça. The club triggered his release clause to seal the deal swiftly.
3 goalkeeprs, 1 spot
Despite Premier League offers, Garcia opted to stay in Catalonia, a move that strengthens Barça’s goalkeeping options with a young, proven shot-stopper.
However, competition will be fierce: Marc-André ter Stegen isn’t going anywhere, and there’s also Szczęsny in the mix. The battle for the No.1 jersey is on.
