Barcelona is nearing a deal for Espanyol’s goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who has reportedly approved the move after discussions with his agents and Barcelona. The €25 million release clause is expected to be met, with Arsenal dropping out of the race, leaving Manchester City as a competitor. The situation at Barcelona remains complex, as they currently have three goalkeepers, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s future uncertain as he aims to retain his starting position ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
