Just when it seemed that Espanyol could breathe easy in this transfer market, it seems that Joan Garcia’s name is once again being mentioned and with great force in the possibility of signing for Arsenal. According to Fabrizio Romano and confirmed in England, the ‘gunner’ club is keeping a close eye on the evolution of the blue and white goalkeeper, in whom it remains very interested. The idea of the Londoners is none other than to go for Joan Garcia if Aaron Ramsdale finally decides to leave the Emirates in these last days of the transfer market.
Espanyol can hardly breathe easy. With a release clause of 30 million euros, a more or less affordable price for a club as financially powerful as Arsenal, Joan Garcia has become one of the most attractive options on the market. He is young, has shown his potential and is at an Espanyol that does not hesitate to sell some of its best assets to clean up its accounts.
However, the club has always been very reluctant to sell the goalkeeper and has always taken advantage of the termination clause in his contract. If Arsenal want him, they will have to put up the 30 million euros needed to sign him.
Watch out for the Ramsdale exit
It doesn’t seem like it will be a big problem for the Gunners. Arteta’s men have only signed Calafiori so far and are close to finalising the signing of Merino.so they would still have some cash left to invest in the goal. Also, if Ramsdale were to leave, it would also be for a good amount, considering that he is a goalkeeper who has proven his worth and who only leaves Arsenal to get more minutes.
We will see how everything develops and whether the English goalkeeper finally leaves the Emirates Stadium. If he does, Joan Garcia is the first option that Arsenal are considering to replace him and they will go all out for him. They value his youth and, above all, his potential to even fight for a starting spot with David Raya, also a Spanish goalkeeper.
