Espanyol -goalkeeper Joan Garcia was the focus of the headlines in Catalonia last week, where Barcelona made a switch to Garcia of their city rivals. He is said to be their top objective for the goalkeeper position this summer, but it seems that he is getting a move to the Premier League.
Initially the subject of an Arsenal bid last summer, the Gunners decided that they were not willing to activate Garcia's Release clause of € 25 million. This summer there are a range of clubs that would like to do this, where Garcia looks like a bargain after a brilliant debut season in La Liga.
Barcelona, who has a good relationship with his agents, has already agreed conditions about a contract for Garcia, but the 24-year-old still has to decide his future. It is believed that the fact that he would not be guaranteed to go for Marc-Andre ter Stegen is a crucial factor in him that may reject a movement to the Blaugrana. Newcastle United has been cited as the side in pole position for his signature.
Although the Red Devil had shown interest in Garcia – just like most top clubs – they were not considered an important competition for his signature. However, Mark Brus or Caht Bantside has detailed that Manchester United will make a late push for a deal. They will hold conversations with Garcia in the coming days with regard to a movement.
Manchester United must be fast if they don't want to miss. Garcia will meet his agents on Friday and possibly again on Monday to make a final call about his future. He said that there is no deadline for him to decide his future and that he will take the best option for his future.
