Incoming Barcelona signing ‘will become the best in the world’ | OneFootball

Soon-to-be Barcelona star Joan García has this week been tipped to become the very best goalkeeper in world football.

This comes a fresh round of praise on the part of one of his former coaches.

It is of course common knowledge across Spain at this point that Barcelona have set their sights firmly on Joan’s signature.

Amid an ongoing search for reinforcements between the posts for next season, the Blaugrana have earmarked the Espanyol standout as the ideal profile for present and future alike.

So much so that some sources have gone as far as to point towards a transfer announcement as being all but imminent.

And one individual in no doubt that Barcelona are set to secure for themselves nothing short of a world-class performer is Jesús Salvador.

Salvador spent four years overseeing Joan’s development at Espanyol, as a goalkeeper coach.

And drawn on the 24-year-old’s talents during an appearance on ‘La Bruixola del Radioestadio Catalunya’ on Onda Cero (as cited by Diario Sport) this week, Salvador gushed:

“He goes unnoticed off the field, but he transforms inside. He has a lot of personality, prominence in the air. He is used to conceding many scoring chances and now, if he ends up at Barcelona, he will go through the opposite. He will not have as much work but when he does, he will have to be highly efficient. It involves brutal concentration. That aspect doesn’t scare me about Joan. He is ready to increase his performance.

“He will end up being the best in the world,” it was concluded.
