Barcelona is actively pursuing Joan Garcia, a 24-year-old goalkeeper from local rivals Espanyol, who excelled in La Liga last season. Garcia is reportedly choosing between Barcelona and Newcastle, with Espanyol ready for his exit upon the activation of his €25m release clause, and they will not negotiate with any club. While Barcelona offers a prestigious prospect, Garcia may find more immediate playing time at Newcastle due to competition with current goalkeepers Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Wojciech Szczesny.
