Premier League
Arsenal has closely followed Joan García for several months, as reported by Relevo. The departure of Aaron Ramsdale was a necessary step for the Gunners to advance in negotiations with Espanyol for the Catalan goalkeeper. Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal has agreed to sell Ramsdale to Southampton for around 28-29 million euros, which has accelerated the English team's interest in García.
Joan García, the chosen one to replace Ramsdale
So far, Espanyol had not received any concrete offers for their starting goalkeeper, whose performance has been crucial for the team's return to La Liga. However, sources close to the club have made it clear they are not willing to negotiate for less than the 30 million euros set by the goalkeeper's release clause. Joan García, on the other hand, would be open to a possible transfer to Arsenal, which would represent a significant leap in his career.
If Arsenal decides to pay the clause before the transfer window closes, Joan García's transfer would become the most expensive sale in Espanyol's history, surpassing the 28 million euros that Betis paid for Borja Iglesias. This operation would allow the Catalan club to make an additional signing before the market closes, always maintaining a policy of financial austerity.
