"Barcelona have struck gold with Joan Garcia, and just over six months have been enough for the new signing to prove his worth. In just his first season at the club, the youngster is already making a case to be called the best goalkeeper in Spain, and is at the doorstep of a national team call-up. Further, he has already won the Catalans multiple games single-handedly, with his best ever performance coming under pressure against his former club Espanyol."
"As relayed by SPORT in a recent update, Barcelona have now decided that Joan Garcia is their long-term goalkeeper and that there is no more scope for any debate or competition. They do not intend to sign any more goalkeepers or talents in that position to compete with Garcia in the coming years, for there is already a surplus of players in that position. Their focus, instead, will shift to facilitating departures."
Joan Garcia has impressed in just over six months at Barcelona, positioning himself as a candidate for Spain's national team and earning praise as possibly the country's best goalkeeper. Garcia has single-handedly won multiple matches, with a standout performance against Espanyol. Barcelona has decided to make Garcia the long-term number one and will not seek additional goalkeepers to challenge him. Multiple contracted goalkeepers will return from loans, creating overbooking in the position. The club plans to facilitate departures, with hopes Ter Stegen might leave after Girona and the World Cup, while other keepers may also move on.
