Joan Garcia, the 24-year-old goalkeeper who played a pivotal role in Espanyol's La Liga survival, is reportedly preparing to discuss his future with his agent amid talks of a £25 million exit.

Garcia has made it clear that he wants to join a top club where he can be the first-choice goalkeeper, rather than accepting a loan deal. His impressive performances have attracted significant attention, and Barcelona remains a potential destination.

"It wouldn't be a problem to face Espanyol," Garcia told Tot Gira, adding, "It would be nice too. These things can happen, but I try to look on the bright side of things, and if it happens, I would be excited about it."

Despite the ongoing transfer talks, Garcia has not closed the door on a move to Barcelona, indicating he is still weighing his options carefully. His desire to secure a starting role at a top club underscores his ambition and confidence in his abilities.

The potential transfer marks a significant moment for both Espanyol and Barcelona, with Garcia's departure likely to impact Espanyol's squad depth while Barcelona could gain a promising young goalkeeper.

"Joan Garcia will reportedly meet with his agent to discuss his options this week, with the in-demand goalkeeper all but confirming his Espanyol exit."

As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Garcia's decision and the negotiations that could see him don the Barcelona jersey next season.
