Although the top priority of Barcelona has always been reported as Luis Diaz in Liverpool in recent weeks, the headlines of the past week are filled with one name: Joan Garcia. The Espanyol -goalkeeper has a range of teams that pursue his signature, but Barcelona has quickly moved to present him an offer.
The 24-year-old has a release clause of € 25 million and was framed when Barcelona believed that it was too good an opportunity to miss. The impressive Shot stopper is said to have an offer on the table of the Blaugrana and has twice refused to exclude a move through the city to the Barcelona.
Earlier, the Blaugrana had received questions about the future of the goalkeeper position, with Marc-Andre Ter Stegen ready to become number one again after the majority of this season with an injury. Garcia is the best choice for Barcelona this summer, but Sport says that they will now move to a goalkeeper this summer, regardless of whether Garcia is willing to become a member.
On Wednesday it was broken that Barcelona had asked about the goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen of Brighton and Hove Albion. The Dutch international is one of the two most important alternatives that Barcelona is looking at. The 22-year-old fits in with the bill with his proactive style and a good ball game power, but they might shun the costs of a deal. Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier is the other option at the forefront of their thinking, although Barcelona knows in the same way that Les Dogues will request a minimum of € 40 million.
The Polish veteran Wojciech Szczesny has reportedly decided to accept a two-year extension offer, and he is ready to be the backup. In the meantime, Inaki Pena looks ready to leave his boy's club this summer. The real question mark is how Marc-Andre ter Stegen would react if Barcelona would bring in another potential number one.
