Barcelona Close to Signing Joan García from Espanyol

According to several Spanish media outlets and Foot Mercato, Barcelona is reportedly close to signing Joan García, the current goalkeeper of Espanyol.

Cadena COPE states that the deal for Barça to sign García has made progress, and the Spanish goalkeeper could become a Barça player within the next few hours. A preliminary agreement has been reached, and it may be officially finalized tomorrow or the day after. Barcelona will pay a release clause of €25 million.

Tomorrow (today, Beijing time) could be the first day to announce “Here We Go” for Joan García.

Barcelona's journalist Romero reports that García is just one step away from signing a contract with Barcelona, with only a few details remaining to be confirmed before the final contract is signed.

Romano indicates that Barcelona is taking all formal measures regarding the transfer of Joan García with the player's agent and Espanyol. While it hasn't been finalized yet, negotiations are progressing smoothly and may take some time to finalize all details.
According to Sky Sports Germany, García is set to join Barcelona. Barça president Laporta, sports director Deco, and coach Flick are all pushing for his signing. Negotiations have progressed, and the transfer is underway.

FM's chief reporter Santi Aouna reports that García has given the green light to Barcelona. The deal is nearing completion, with only final details remaining. An official statement is expected in the coming days, and he will sign a five-year contract.

According to internal sources from Barça, the transfer of Joan García is not completely finalized yet, but they hope it won’t take too long. They have been negotiating with his agent tonight to finalize the deal, aiming to complete it by Tuesday.

Joan García will be the starting goalkeeper for Barcelona next season, with Szczęsny serving as the backup. If Ter Stegen wants to play regularly, he may be forced to seek a new club.

Prediction
Given the current momentum of the transfer negotiations and the interest from both parties, it seems likely that Joan García will officially join Barcelona soon, potentially solidifying their goalkeeping position for the upcoming season.
