Atletico Madrid is planning the future of their goalkeeping and has set their sights on Joan Garcia, the current goalkeeper of RCD Espanyol. At just 23 years old, the Catalan goalkeeper has been one of the standout performers of the season in LaLiga EA SPORTS, known for his security in goal and ability to keep his team away from relegation places.

The young goalkeeper's performance has not gone unnoticed by several top clubs in Europe. During the last summer transfer window, Arsenal tried to sign him with a 20 million euros offer, which Espanyol turned down. Now, Atletico Madrid has entered the bidding war with the aim of securing a promising goalkeeper for the future.

A Successor for Jan Oblak Being Considered

Currently, Jan Oblak remains a key player in the Atletico lineup, but at 32 years old, the club's board is already thinking about his successor. The club's strategy in recent years has been to rejuvenate the squad, with the departure of experienced players and the arrival of young talents like Julian Alvarez or Giuliano Simeone.

Joan Garcia has established himself as one of the most effective goalkeepers in the league, leading in the number of saves with 101 interventions in 27 games. His youth, experience in the Spanish league, and progression make him an attractive option for Atletico Madrid, who could make a strong push for him in the upcoming transfer market.
