The 24-year-old has agreed to affix the La Liga champions from metropolis rivals Espanyol, and a deal is prone to be accomplished within the coming weeks.
Joan Garcia tipped to develop into greatest goalkeeper on the planet
Garcia is off the again of a really spectacular 2024-25 season with Espanyol, with many contemplating him to have been the very best goalkeeper in La Liga. And based on former coach Jesus Salvador, he’ll go on to develop into a frontrunner in his place when contemplating the remainder of the world, as per Marca.
“Rajkovic is for me the very best goalkeeper on the planet now, which is the one I’ve at Al-Ittihad, however the one who’s going to be is Joan García. I’m not saying he’s now, however he will probably be. I do know his potential very properly and we have now solely seen the tip of the iceberg, we have now to present him nice nights. He will probably be like Neuer, Valdés, Ter Stegen, Diego López… like everybody else, however we had been all clear about his high quality since we noticed him.
“He is able to play a number one position. At Espanyol he’s used to being examined by loads of scoring possibilities, and now whether it is confirmed that he’s going to Barcelona, will probably be the alternative. He is not going to have a lot work within the defensive section, however when he has it he should be extremely environment friendly. He has to have whole focus from minute one, and that doesn’t fear me as a result of he has it. He’s very clever and at all times targeted, he communicates together with his teammates within the defence. He’s prepared.”
Garcia will develop into Barcelona’s new beginning goalkeeper upon his arrival, which underlines the idea that they’ve in him. And on the premise of his performances for Espanyol over the past 12-15 months, that confidence could be very comprehensible.
