Joan Garcia transfer saga nears its end as Barcelona schedule announcement while Marc-Andre ter Stegen continues Galatasaray talks

<p>Barcelona are set to announce the signing of Joan Garcia from city rivals Espanyol, with <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250616/1002484009/espanyol-recibe-laliga-notificacion-abono-clausula-joan-garcia.html" target="_blank"><em>Mundo Deportivo</em></a> reporting that La Liga have confirmed<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/joan-garcia-makes-his-mind-up-espanyol-goalkeeper-ready-complete-25m-barcelona-transfer-snubbing-arsenal-interest/bltfeebf00d60ec4c42" target="_blank"> his €25 million (£21m/$28m) release clause</a> has been paid. The 24-year-old goalkeeper will be presented this week, with personal terms already agreed. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marc-andre-ter-stegen-agreement-galatasaray-offer-barcelona-unhappy/blt0ed1bf72155d5650" target="_blank">Ter Stegen has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Galatasaray</a> amid his fury at the club's conduct surrounding the transfer, though <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/barcelona/2025/06/16/ter-stegen-claro-escucha-ofertas-busca-equipo-entra-juego-mediaticos.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a> now reports he remains defiant and vows to stay.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Catalan giants' goalkeeping shake-up reflects their broader financial struggles. Garcia, much cheaper in salary terms, represents a long-term solution as the club look to rejuvenate the squad and comply with La Liga’s financial fair play rules. Ter Stegen’s possible departure could save the club millions in wages and unlock space for other reinforcements.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 24-year-old will jump from a €400k salary at Espanyol to €3m (£2.5m/$3.4m) at Barcelona, but couldn’t comment publicly until La Liga validated the clause payment. Meanwhile, Ter Stegen, one of Barca’s top earners with three years left on his contract, edges closer to a shock move to Galatasaray <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/leroy-sane-reflects-five-intense-years-bayern-munich-farewell-message-galatasaray-signing-mobbed-fans-airport-landing-istanbul/blt60c5b26862638e03" target="_blank">who recently signed Leroy Sane</a> and are now targeting another high-profile addition.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Once La Liga approves the transfer, Barcelona will officially present Garcia. The goalkeeper is expected to release a farewell statement to Espanyol fans. On the other side, Ter Stegen’s uncertainty continues.</p>
