Joan Garcia officially becomes a Barcelona player today.
According to multiple sources, including Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona will make the official announcement of Garcia’s signing on Tuesday.
Garcia to join Barcelona
The 24-year-old Garcia is one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga and was admired by a host of European clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, Man Utd, Real Madrid, PSG and especially Arsenal.
Indeed, Garcia had been Arsenal’s top goalkeeper target this summer but the player rejected them for Barcelona.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen could now leave Barcelona this summer as a result of Garcia’s signing.
Garcia helped Espanyol gain promotion from the second tier in the 2023-24 season, before playing a pivotal role in the club avoiding relegation in the 2024-25 season.
He came through the Espanyol youth system and spent his entire career at the club before joining Barcelona.
He also won La Liga’s Save of the Month in February and March 2025.
Garcia has been capped throughout the Spain youth teams and was part of the country’s Olympic-winning squad in 2024.
He is admired for his excellent kicking and ability with the ball at his feet.
