Real Madrid Confidencial Barça sign Joan García and Florentino smiles because of the behind-the-scenes of the deal
Barcelona has once again demonstrated its approach with the signing of Joan García
The market is on the move, so Europe's top clubs are continuing to plan for the 2025-2026 season, especially those that aren't in the Club World Cup.
One of them is Barcelona, a club that has shown its terrible conduct and has closed its first signing of the season.
Joan Laporta and Deco have managed to bring in Joan García, who has left Espanyol through the back door, despite having spent his whole life at the Perico club.
"The time has come for our paths to part. Today I have to say goodbye to the club that has been my home since I was 15 years old. During all this time, I have tried to grow every day as a footballer and as a person, always with humility, effort, and always with the pride of defending the goal of Real Club Deportivo Espanyol. I have given everything I had inside to help the team, to represent this badge with the utmost commitment, and to live up to what it means to wear this jersey. I know this decision won't be easy for everyone to understand. I'm not asking you to do so. But I do want you to know that it has been a very well-thought-out decision," said Barcelona's new goalkeeper.
Portrayed
This farewell has been the beginning of the end for Espanyol, since Barcelona later announced the payment of the Catalan goalkeeper's release clause.
The blaugrana team paid €25 million plus CPI, as confirmed by the club itself in a statement.
The problem for FC Barcelona and its image is that this procedure is clearly being compared to the usual actions of Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez.
Real Madrid always seeks to negotiate and never pays the release clause, since it tries not to make arbitrary but rather conciliatory deals.
Joan Laporta has signed Joan García in a forceful manner and will now try to do the same with Nico Williams, who is under great pressure from the Catalans.
This is being discussed, especially because it confirms that Barcelona's actions leave much to be desired and that this is the behavior of anything but a club that considers itself great.
