After already securing Malaga’s Antonio Cordero, Newcastle United are now targeting Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to Angel Garcia (via MD), the 24-year-old shot-stopper has been a standout performer in La Liga this season, catching the eye of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Bayer Leverkusen. Garcia’s quick reflexes and ability to rescue points for Espanyol have made him one of Spain’s most talked-about young goalkeepers.
🚨 Real Madrid reportedly view Garcia as a potential replacement for Andriy Lunin, while Barcelona have also considered him a serious candidate for their future plans. Still, no official approach has been made by either Spanish giant.
However, Newcastle may hold a key advantage: they can offer Garcia the No. 1 shirt right away — something not guaranteed at Madrid, Barça, or elsewhere. Given his desire to play consistently, this factor could tip the scales in favor of the Premier League side.
With Espanyol facing financial pressure, a transfer this summer appears highly likely.
Madridistas Zone Comment :
“Joan Garcia is having a breakout season, and I see why big clubs are after him. If Lunin does leave, he’d be a smart addition at Madrid. But honestly, I hate to see La Liga talents go to the Premier League. Hopefully, Real act fast before Newcastle do what they did with Cordero!”
