Joan Garc\u00eda opened up about the interest of Bar\u00e7a and other European clubs in signing him. Will the ‘Cul\u00e9s’ be able to close their first reinforcement of the summer?<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Joan Garc\u00eda is the goalkeeper of the moment in LaLiga. The ‘1’ of Espanyol has sounded strongly as a possible first reinforcement of FC Barcelona for the 25\/26<\/a> and avoided giving details about his possible arrival to the ‘Azulgrana’ team in an interview for the program ‘Tot gira’ of ‘Catalunya R\u00e0dio’.<\/p>

The Catalan goalkeeper received the Dani Jarque award for his great season with the ‘Pericos’, being a key player for Manolo Gonz\u00e1lez’s team to avoid relegation<\/strong>. When talking about the market, Garc\u00eda made it clear that, beyond the rumors, he has not yet closed agreements with any team.<\/p>

“In football, news and things come out every two by three. From here to it being reality… it’s not always like that<\/strong>. I am very calm and, whatever I decide, I will surely think about it a lot with my people and choosing the best for me. It will surely be like that,” said the player from Sallent.<\/p>

Further away from Bar\u00e7a? Joan Garc\u00eda does not close the door to trying his luck abroad<\/h2>

In that sense, he added: “All players want to play<\/strong>, I have been playing for a year and a half and I want to continue doing so. I am young and that is very important. I would have no problem going abroad<\/strong>,” he said, referring to the rumors about the interest of several clubs in Italy, England and Germany<\/a>.<\/p>

\ud83d\udd0a Joan Garcia: “The team where I play next season I will decide convinced”

The Espanyol goalkeeper receives the Dani Jarque Trophy, takes stock of the season and talks about his future and the option of Bar\u00e7a #RCDE<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/7mQ0AZebc5<\/a><\/p> \u2014 Tot gira (@totgira) June 1, 2025<\/a> <\/blockquote> <\/div>

Joan’s statements suggest his desire to reach a team where he has a high probability of being a starter next season. At Bar\u00e7a, this will not be easy, since both Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczesny (if he finally renews)<\/a> will also fight for the position.<\/p>

Unless there is a surprise, Ter Stegen will be a starter from day 1 of the 25\/26 season<\/strong>, so the arrival of the player from Sallent is a reinforcement pointing more to the medium and long term, since he is a young goalkeeper (24 years old) with a brutal margin for growth.<\/p>

In addition, Espanyol also insists on preventing his transfer to the ‘Azulgrana’ team. The ‘Blanquiazul’ board demands that the ‘Cul\u00e9s’ pay immediately the entirety of his termination clause (25 million euros)<\/strong>, a measure that could raise the total cost of the operation to about 30 ‘kilos’ for tax concepts.<\/p>

Espanyol prefers Joan Garc\u00eda to continue his career away from LaLiga<\/h2>

In that sense, the ‘Pericos’ are clear about their objective with the player from Sallent: although it will be a sensitive loss, the ideal is to send him to another club outside of Spain, even if that implies postponing part of the income<\/strong> derived from his transfer.<\/p>

In principle, Espanyol does not rule out negotiating a sale in two or three parts with Newcastle or another of the clubs interested in Joan Garc\u00eda<\/strong> to speed up his sale and leave Bar\u00e7a without room for maneuver.<\/p>

One of the teams interested in the Catalan goalkeeper, Bayer Leverkusen<\/strong>, has dropped out of the ‘race’ for his signing after the imminent incorporation of Mark Flekken<\/strong>, goalkeeper of the English Brentford.<\/p>

The Dutchman  would arrive in Germany in exchange for 10 million euros<\/strong>, 15 ‘kilos’ less than what Espanyol asks for its goalkeeper. In addition to Newcastle, Napoli, Arsenal and Inter Milan are still attentive to the future of the ‘1’ ‘Blanquiazul’.<\/p>
