Arsenal transfer blow as target's club "would prefer to sell to Real Madrid"
Briefly

Arsenal is set to replace goalkeeper Neto, whose loan period ends, with a focus on securing Joan Garcia from Espanyol. The club previously pursued Garcia but hesitated due to Espanyol's 30 million release clause, which they consider high. With a potential drop in the clause to 15 million should Espanyol face relegation, Arsenal is reportedly favored to acquire Garcia. However, they face stiff competition from Real Madrid and Barcelona, both keen on the young goalkeeper, complicating Arsenal's pursuit for a reliable number two behind David Raya.
Arsenal will need to sign a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer window, as Neto is returning to Bournemouth and Garcia remains a top target.
Despite previously failing to sign him, Arsenal remains hopeful regarding Joan Garcia, who has solidified his status as an excellent goalkeeper in La Liga.
