"By signing Joan Garcia in the summer transfer window of 2025, FC Barcelona have secured the present and the future of their goalkeeping department. Just six months into his tenure at the club, the 24-year-old has already proven his worth with some stunning performances and is going to play an important role in any success the Blaugrana enjoy in the years to come."
"After all, Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out of favour despite having a contract until 2028 and is headed out on loan to Girona this month. Wojciech Szczesny's contract runs until 2027 but contains an option for termination. Inaki Pena, currently on loan at Elche, does not appear to be in the team's plans despite inking a new contract until 2029 before leaving in the summer."
"In fact, Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, showed interest on more than one occasion in the situation of the Spain international before the club signed Joan Garcia. Last summer, Remiro's release clause stood at €50 million, making it extremely difficult to prise him away from Real Sociedad. Looking ahead to next summer, however, the scenario has changed. The goalkeeper will have only one year remaining on his contract, and his price is expected to fall below €10 million."
FC Barcelona signed 24-year-old Joan Garcia in summer 2025 and view him as central to both current success and future plans after impressive early performances. Significant uncertainty remains across the goalkeeper roster: Marc-Andre ter Stegen is out of favour and moving on loan to Girona, Wojciech Szczesny has a contract with a termination option, and Inaki Pena appears surplus despite a long-term deal while on loan. Academy prospect Diego Kochen is considered a future option. Barcelona have identified Real Sociedad and Spain international Alex Remiro as a potential target, with his price expected to fall next summer.
