Joan García to Sign with FC Barcelona
Barcelona is on the verge of completing the signing of Joan García from Espanyol, with only final formalities remaining. The club plans to trigger his €25 million release clause shortly, demonstrating their commitment to strengthening the goalkeeper position for the future.
A full agreement has already been reached with García, who is expected to sign a five-year contract running until June 2030. He will reportedly earn an annual salary of €4 million.
The only step left is García’s formal approval, which is anticipated to be a formality. Once completed, the transfer will become official.
In a major statement of intent, Barcelona is offering García the coveted No. 1 jersey — suggesting he may become the club’s first-choice keeper ahead of seasoned names like Marc-André ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczęsny.
The club is reportedly very confident in García’s abilities and views him as a key figure in their next generation. Excitement is building within the Barça camp as the deal edges closer to completion. Big developments are expected soon.
