TA: Joan Garcia wants to be a goal and not go to Arsenal, Barcelona currently has no space to register new players

June 4th According to TheAthletic, when talking about Joan Garcia's transfer, the players did not go to Arsenal because they wanted to be a goal, and Barcelona is working hard to complete their first signing this summer.

Joan Garcia is considered one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga last season, with a 25 million euro termination clause in the contract. Barcelona believes that signing Garcia at this price will be a rare opportunity and a decision must be made quickly. At present, Barcelona has contacted the players' team and has initially agreed on a five-year contract. Now it depends on Garcia himself.

Last summer, Arsenal was very close to signing Garcia, but the deal failed due to failure to reach an agreement with Espanyol. After experiencing the past season, Garcia has given priority to the team that regards him as the starting goalkeeper. And Arsenal now has Premier League Golden Gloves winner Raya, and Garcia is unlikely to get a starting opportunity immediately, so the possibility of a transfer to North London has been reduced. Other Premier League clubs are also very interested in Garcia, and Newcastle has been paying attention to him, but it is not the first choice for players. Bournemouth and Manchester City are paying attention to the player, but there is no dialogue in the short term. Sources within the Barcelona club believe that under the current market conditions, it will cost at least 60 million euros for any top team to introduce a new goalkeeper, and Garcia is regarded as a top potential stock and can now sign it for only 25 million euros, which is undoubtedly super cost-effective. Although Szczesny performed well after his comeback, the club believes that he is not a goalkeeper who can help the team win the Champions League, and the semi-finals are a warning to Inter Milan's situation for Barcelona.

In addition to Szczesny, there is also Ter Stegen. Although he is an important figure in the locker room, he has not maintained a stable performance in his 11-year career in Barcelona, ​​and he has been seen in many Champions League defeats. Garcia is considered a comprehensive upgrade option. Not only does he have excellent save skills, he also has the potential to perfectly integrate into Frick's high-level defensive system.

Therefore, Barcelona is now facing complex adjustments in the goalkeeper position. Ter Stegen has no intention of leaving. Szczesni will renew his contract and continue to serve as a substitute goalkeeper. In addition, it may become the first player to transfer from Espanyol to the same city rival in 31 years. If the performance does not meet expectations, these situations will put additional pressure on Garcia.

In addition, Barcelona's financial situation is still serious. According to La Liga sources, Barcelona's current expenditure has exceeded the salary cap, so it is temporarily unable to register for new players. The club hopes to make significant progress in the construction of Camp Nou to have the opportunity to improve its financial situation.
