Barcelona aren’t slowing down and are already reinforcing its squad for the upcoming season. The Blaugrana have made a major signing by bringing in RCD Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García, after paying his release clause of over 25 million euros.
The goalkeeper, born in Sant Joan Despí, Catalonia, is 24 years’ old and joins at the peak of his career, having just completed an outstanding season. He was the goalkeeper with the most saves in Laliga EA Sports 2024/25, registering 146 saves in 38 matches—an average of 3.84 key stops per game.
Upon signing his six-season contract with FC Barcelona, he expressed his happiness and enthusiasm about joining the club, stating: “It’s an exciting project, with a great team and a lot of young players I already know. I can’t wait to get started and be with them.”
