Manchester United has concluded an approach to hijack a deal for a long -term arsenal transfer target for the summer window, while trying to strengthen Ruben Amorim's team
Manchester United has contacted Arsenal Transfer -target Joan Garcia during a possible relocation to Old Trafford. Arsenal saw two bids for the Espanyol goalkeeper rejected last summer and his connected, together with Real Madrid, with another movement in the coming transfer window.
Garcia is said to have received an offer from United after the Red Devils had reached its representatives by reports in Spain. The 13-times Premier League champions have long considered strengthening their goalkeeper options to challenge Andre Onana, with Back-up Altay Bayindir stands in line for a summer sale and Tom Heaton to leave the club.
United will not necessarily have a simple time to close a deal for Garcia, this is the interest in the player. The Shotstopper, which has played in La Liga every minutes before Espanyol and has saved seven clean sheets, has a release clause of € 25 million (£ 20.8 million), which rises to € 30 million (£ 25 million) in the last 15 days of the transfer star.
The future of the 23-year-old is not something that relates to sports director Fran Garagarza. The Espanyol chef has played every suggestion of an approach that reached the level of last summer.
“There is a lot of noise, but nothing happens,” he said, per sport. “There is no sturdy movement as there was in the previous one [summer] window. There can be movements because he is a top -level goalkeeper, but we are calm and above all, the child is very calm. “
For his part, Garcia offered a measured response to his future last month. The goalkeeper has not been confused by speculation so far. “Everyone likes to be spoken well, to talk about in the national team, but I consider it a prize, not an obligation,” he told Pizarritas per sport witness.
“I keep working, working and with the aim of achieving sustainability with Espanyol. After that, some good things also come my way, I welcome them.”
Despite Garagarza's public approach, it seems that there is an acceptance that Garcia will leave. The League side has already identified one potential replacement in Mallorca Ace Leo Roman, by reports in Spain.
The interest of United in Garcia seems to everyone, but to confirm that the club and Amorim are ready to reduce their losses on Onana, which did not live up to expectations since he moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2023 for a substantial transfer costs.
The Cameroon Star is plagued by a catalog of seasoned errors and trust in the Shot stopper has apparently eroded. Recent reports have indicated that Onana could now be on the move this summer with transfer interest in the former Inter Milan -man from Saudi Arabia.
