Joan García is already wearing the colors of FC Barcelona. In fact, the player from Sallent de Llobregat, fully demonstrating his commitment to the club in this new adventure, has already had a first contact with the facilities, even though the preseason is scheduled to start on July 13.
First Training Session of Joan García at the Joan Gamper Sports City
And yes, the 24-year-old goalkeeper recently traveled to the Joan Gamper Sports City to carry out his first workout session in the gym. Thus, the new signing of the blue and garnet team was seen in some images shared by the Catalan club 'pushing himself' alongside fitness coach Andrés Martín and goalkeeper coach José Ramón de la Fuente.
Another indication of how eager Joan García is to start his journey as a player for FC Barcelona, a team that has signed his services for six seasons (until 2031). Theoretically, and depending on how the club resolves the future of Marc-André ter Stegen, he arrives to be the starting goalkeeper for Hansi Flick's team.
His Numbers with RCD Espanyol Support His Signing with Barcelona
The Catalan has all the credentials to achieve this, as he arrives at Barça after having a memorable 2024/25 season with RCD Espanyol. Last season, he played a total of 38 matches, leading LaLiga in total saves (146), in addition to having kept his goal clean on eight occasions and having saved two penalties.
García showed himself to be a goalkeeper with feline reflexes. At the same time, he proved to be an unyielding keeper in one-on-one situations and also excels in aerial play.
The Player from Sallent Got Ahead of the Blue and Garnet Club's Preseason
An exciting addition for FC Barcelona that, by advancing his adaptation to the club's dynamics, has given his first demonstration of commitment to the institution. Joan García showed up early, hoping to soon meet his new teammates, which will happen at the end of this week.
As mentioned earlier, the first team members are scheduled to gather at the Joan Gamper Sports City for medical tests starting July 13. On July 14, they will begin working on the field, the day when the first double training session of the season will take place.
