Joan Garcia already has Barça's proposal and will decide his future between Friday and Monday. The sports management of the culé team is optimistic about the signing of the Espanyol goalkeeper.
The future of Joan Garcia is nearing its final outcome. The Espanyol goalkeeper, one of the great revelations of LaLiga, already has a concrete offer from FC Barcelona and, according to sources close to the operation, he is expected to make a final decision between Friday, May 31 and Monday, June 3, after meeting with his representatives.
With only 24 years old and a termination clause of 25 million euros, his situation has aroused the interest of several European clubs. However, the azulgrana proposal has been clear for days and the player is studying it carefully.
A principle of agreement with conditions already defined
As FCBN has advanced, there is a principle of agreement between Barça and the player's agents. The contractual conditions are practically closed: a five-season contract with incentives linked to his possible debut with the absolute national team, as already contemplated in his current link with Espanyol.
Although the perico club has no room to negotiate the exit price, it has tried to exert public pressure —as coach Manolo González did— to dissuade Joan Garcia from wearing the azulgrana shirt. However, the final decision corresponds solely to the player.
Barça trusts that Joan Garcia will lead the transition in the goal
At FC Barcelona, they consider that Joan Garcia represents a strategic bet for the present and future. The sports management sees him as an ideal profile to start a gradual transition in the goal, competing with Marc-André ter Stegen and ensuring a high-level continuity in the position.
Tranquility reigns in the offices of the Catalan club. They know that the player values the proposal and that his environment has always maintained a receptive tone. The club insists that this is not a reactive operation, but a plan drawn up months ago, in search of national talent with immediate projection.
A thoughtful decision after a season of consecration
In recent statements to Catalunya Ràdio, Joan Garcia made it clear that he will not make a hasty decision: "I will think about it carefully and choose the best for my career". Prudent words, but which reflect the awareness of the key moment he is going through.
Joan García's career: Goals in official matches
The goalkeeper has closed the season as one of the key names of Espanyol, being decisive in avoiding relegation in the last matches. His performance and maturity, both under the posts and in his public behavior, have reinforced his profile as a committed professional.
| Season | Team | Goals | Matches | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024/25 | Espanyol | 51 | 38 | 1,34 |

| 2022/23 | Espanyol | 5 | 4 | 1,25 |
| 2021/22 | Espanyol | 6 | 4 | 1,50 |
An imminent and strategic operation for the future of Barça's goal
The decision of Joan Garcia could mark the beginning of a new stage in Barça's goal. With the market about to enter a boil and the big European clubs attentive to his movements, the player must now resolve if his qualitative leap will occur at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona's offer is on Joan García's table. Only the signature is missing.
