Arsenal have been linked with Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia all summer, and it looks as if he may yet make a move. The Gunners appear to have agreed terms with the 23-year-old.
Back in goal for Espanyol on Monday night against Real Valladolid after bringing home a gold medal from the Paris 2024 Olympics. Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Garcia and the Gunners have had a deal in place for some time, but Arsenal are yet to open talks with Espanyol.
The move hinges on Aaron Ramsdale’s exit from the club, with Garcia set to back up David Raya. Wolves have recently enquired about Ramsdale, and the player is expected to move on in the final 10 days of the window.
Los Pericos are believed to be after €25m for Garcia’s signature, with four years remaining on a recently renewed deal. Real Madrid have also been linked with Garcia, having scouted him, but with little movement in terms of Andriy Lunin, it seems unlikely that they will compete directly with Arsenal this summer.
