Today, the attention of the Espanyol fans will be largely focused on the offensive of the Arsenal by the goalkeeper of Spanish Joan García. Since yesterday there is an offer of 20 million euros on the table from the agents of the goalkeeper, who have had the terms of his possible move to the London club agreed for days, but the Espanyol responded by claiming the 30% termination clause. In this regard and in the face of the resistance of the RCDE he Arsenal has reached an agreement with the veteran goalkeeper of Bournemouth, Neto, after reaching a stalemate in negotiations over Joan Garcia, its number 1 objective to offer competition to David Raya.
DEAL AGREED!
Arsenal have agreed a loan deal with AFC Bournemouth for Goalkeeper Neto.
It’s a straight season long loan with no option or obligation.
He will travel to London tomorrow morning to complete his medical and to finalise the move. #AFC #afcb

It remains to be seen whether this move will serve to definitively rule out Joan Garcia from their list of signings to be closed before the window closes, or they make a new attempt with the Blanquiazules’ leaders. In this regard, Fabrizio Romano insists that the agreement will only be executed if they do not finally overcome the resistance of the Espanyol and they are made with Joan Garcia.
