Barcelona Signs Goalkeeper Joan García From Crosstown Rival Espanyol
Barcelona is signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García, who was once linked to a move to Arsenal, to a six-year contract, the Spanish champion said Wednesday. The 24-year-old García recently finished a stellar first season in La Liga when he led all goalies in saves with an average of almost four a game. He will now join Espanyol's main rival. Barcelona said it activated a release clause of 25 million euros ($28.5 million) and that García is expected to sign the contract Friday in a private ceremony at the club offices. The fee could help Espanyol reinforce a squad after it only avoided relegation on the final day of the season. García had been close to a possible move to Arsenal last summer after he helped Spain win Olympic gold in Paris. He stayed put and was Espanyol's best player. García has yet to debut for Spain's senior side, but it is considered only a matter of time before he does if he continues to play well. His arrival to Barcelona puts in question the role of veteran Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who was injured most of the season. He is under contract through 2028. Following Ter Stegen's injury, Barcelona convinced Wojciech Szczęsny to come out of retirement and sign a contract for the remainder of last season. Barcelona's other goalie is Iñaki Peña. While several Barcelona players have joined Espanyol later in their careers, it is rare for an Espanyol player to move to Barcelona. Their derbies are heated affairs.
