It was a hectic clasico, marked by the pre-match controversies, a crazy scenario and tension throughout the meeting. One more title for FC Barcelona, which already dreams of making the hat-trick, while this duel facing the Inter in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League is looming on the horizon. But, at the same time, necessarily, management is already working on the transfer window and even on the club project in the long term.
In this sense, the club is already working on its future number 9, with many names that have been released lately, such as Alexander Isak (Newcastle) or Julian Alvarez (Atlético de Madrid). But it will also be necessary to tackle the goalkeeper, since Marc-André Ter Stegen, who returns from injury, as well as Wojciech Szczęsny are already a certain age: 32 years for German and 35 years for the Polish. Real Madrid has significantly the same “problem” with Thibaut Courtois, who will blow his 33 candles in May. In the immediate future, the two clubs have successful guards for next season, but then?

Both paint the market looking for a future holder. And as explained Sportthe sports directions of the two Ogres of the Spanish championship set their sights on the same goalkeeper: Joan Garcia. The 23 -year -old Spaniard has had an exceptional season in the cages of Espanyol, asserting himself as one of the best guards in Europe, and he caught the eye of the liga cadors but also in England.
Especially with a release clause of only 25 million euros, it is a particularly cheap goalkeeper. One thing is certain, he will leave the Catalan club this summer, and everything indicates that he will sign with a European cador. For Barça and Real Madrid, everything is a matter of timing, in the sense that they do not need him in the short term, and will therefore find a way to secure his presence in the medium term …
