Joan Garcia blow for Barcelona? Espanyol coach casts major doubt on goalkeeper's Blaugrana move amid Arsenal and Man Utd transfer links

<p>Garcia appeared to confirm his future was away from Espanyol after saying he can leave with his "<a href="https://www.fichajes.net/en/news/joan-garcia-confirms-his-farewell-to-espanyol-20250525.html" target="_blank">head held high</a>" at the weekend. While the 24-year-old - who played a key role in maintaining their La Liga status - hasn't ruled out a move to local rivals Barcelona, his manager has rejected the idea of a crosstown switch. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said on <em>Radio Galega</em><a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/manolo-dudo-bastante-que-joan-fiche-por-el-barca-n/" target="_blank"></a>: "Maybe he’s already sold, but the club hasn’t told me anything. Personally, I highly doubt he’ll sign for Barcelona. I’m not saying I’d cut off one of my hands to guarantee it, but nearly."</p>

WHAT GONZALEZ SAID

<p>Garcia may be the most in-demand keeper in the world right now. The Spaniard has been linked with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-barcelona-danger-pipped-rising-la-liga-star-signature-premier-league-rival/blt117ec14f86dd689f#csa522b0160efa48b5" target="_blank">Arsenal, Bournemouth, Barcelona</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/joan-garcia-snub-barcelona-arsenal-newcastle-aston-villa-25m-espanyol-goalkeeper/blt01fd2cc29f513f8c#cs06e4f0dd0d5b6c8a" target="_blank">Aston Villa, Newcastle</a> and more, but it remains to be seen where this coveted stopper will head for the 2025-26 season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>If Garcia does move on, it is up in the air what his price tag will be. Reports suggest he has a €25 million (£21m/$28m) release clause, which will rise to €30m (£25m/$34m) for the last 15 days of the summer transfer window. But other outlets say he could leave for as little as €15m (£13m/$17m) to balance Espanyol's books before June 30.</p>
