Barcelona to pay transfer target’s termination clause next Tuesday | OneFootball

A fresh insight into the plans of the Barcelona brass to bring in Joan García from Espanyol has this weekend been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and confirms that the Blaugrana’s intention is to imminently deposit the goalkeeper’s release clause.

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.

An agreement has already been reached with Joan and his representatives over the terms of a long-term contract, meaning all that remains is to pay the 24-year-old’s release clause.

And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish press is anything to go by, as much looks set to be forthcoming early next week.

As per Sport:

‘The key now is the payment of the termination clause of 25 million euros, plus CPI. Barça hope to have all the paperwork ready for a representative of Joan García to make it effective next Tuesday at the headquarters of La Liga.’
