Barcelona are set to sign goalkeeper Joan Garcia from local rivals Espanyol in their first deal of the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old was one of La Liga’s best goalkeepers in the 2024-25 season, making 3.8 saves per 90 minutes, the most in the competition.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Garcia is now set to join Barcelona after the club agreed to activate his €25 million release clause.
Garcia’s arrival adds fuel to the fire that Marc-Andre ter Stegen could be set to leave after a season plagued with injuries.
Barcelona have beaten several Premier League sides to Garcia’s signature with the likes of Arsenal and Man City both previously interested.
