FC Barcelona is set to officially unveil their new goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, marking a pivotal addition to Hansi Flick’s squad.
While the transfer signifies an attempt to boost the squad during the Hansi Flick era, it also demonstrates the club’s inclination to incorporate youth, Joan Garcia with experience, and Wojciech Szczesny to offset the financial implications of the transaction.
Garcia’s contract will create competition in the goal that will challenge Wojciech Szczesny and possibly change some roles for Marc-Andre ter Stegen at Camp Nou.
Fans are keen to see how the young player will adapt to the pressures of one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
The announcement of Garcia’s signing is expected to be made in the coming days.
Journalist Santi Ovalle has confirmed that La Liga will approve the payment of Garcia’s €25 million release clause on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.
Garcia, who developed through the Espanyol academy, will sign a six-year contract, until June 2031.
He will have a medical at midweek before signing his contract with Barcelona and taking any official photos outside of Camp Nou.
No press conference has been scheduled, but Garcia will get to tell his story officially through the Barcelona social media channels.
This transfer confirms the club’s confidence in his ability to become a long-term signing.
Barcelona’s signing of Garcia emphasizes its aim to build a sustainable squad while operating under La Liga’s financial regulations.
The club’s quick payment of Garcia’s release clause shows they want to acquire quality players.
As the club prepares to present Garcia, the transfer will affect the goalkeeping depth chart and the overall squad. Fans hope Garcia’s arrival will solidify Barcelona’s defense and prepare them for an exciting season under Hansi Flick.
