🚨 It’s official: Joan García joins FC Barcelona | OneFootball

The Blaugrana club has paid the release clause of the 24-year-old goalkeeper who arrives from RCD Espanyol.

Barça has signed one of the Spanish footballers with the most suitors in this transfer market. Joan García, a 24-year-old goalkeeper who shone at RCD Espanyol, joins the Blaugrana club after paying a release clause of 25 million euros, plus IPC.

At this time, Deco and the members of the sports area of FC Barcelona accelerated the process to resolve the transfer and paid the full amount to the Blanquiazul team.

Joan García, a young goalkeeper coveted by some Premier League clubs, becomes Barça's first major signing for the 2025/26 season.

His arrival aims to give solidity and projection to a position where the 33-year-old German Marc-André ter Stegen, who has a contract until 2028 but is being sounded out by some teams, and the Polish Wojciech Szczęsny, who has a renewal underway for one more year and another optional one.

In this way, it is one of the most important transfers in Spanish football, not only because of the sentimental aspect of going from Espanyol to Barça, but also because it means the arrival of a gem that can lead to a real revolution in the Culé goal.
