Transfer: Barcelona Club Has Agreed To Sign Espanyol Goalkeeper
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan giants have reached a full agreement to sign goalkeeper Joan García from Espanyol. The deal is sealed, the paperwork is ready, and the move is expected to be completed in the coming days.
The 24-year-old Spaniard will join Barça on a five-year contract, bringing a new wave of competition and energy to the goalkeeping position. Espanyol will receive €25 million, the amount listed in García’s release clause. Sources say Barcelona is set to trigger the payment soon, with the official announcement likely to happen next week.
This transfer marks a significant moment in García’s career. Known for his quick reactions, calm presence, and sharp positioning, Joan has grown steadily at Espanyol, proving himself as one of La Liga’s most promising young goalkeepers. Moving to the Catalan club gives him a bigger stage, and likely bigger challenges ahead.
Barcelona, meanwhile, sees García as a key piece in their rebuilding efforts. The club is aiming to strengthen its core with younger, reliable talents who can grow into long-term stars. With Wojciech Szczęsny still in top form, García will need to fight for minutes, but many believe this healthy competition will benefit both players.
Fans will remember that signing a player from city rivals Espanyol is never a quiet affair, but Barça is clearly focused on the future. In a summer full of rumors and tough choices, this deal feels like one that truly fits the club’s long-term plans. For Joan García, it is a dream step forward. For Barcelona, it is a safe bet on a bright talent.
