Real Madrid Confidencial Joan García stops his transfer to Barça, he'll sign with Madrid under one condition
Real Madrid leaves Barça without their desired goalkeeper in a major move
In recent days, Joan García has started making headlines due to the doubts surrounding his future. It's true that Espanyol secured survival and will spend another season in La Liga. However, their goalkeeper could pack his bags to take on a new challenge.
There had been talk about Barça, which in recent years has had quite a few problems with the goalkeeper position. However, the latest reports have indicated that this is practically ruled out. Right now, he would have two options: one is the Premier League, where several teams want him, and the other is Real Madrid.
In fact, Los Merengues have been following him since he was in the Second Division (Segunda División), where he delivered outstanding performances. During this season, he has been one of the most liked names. They're already reconsidering signing him, although they've set a condition for it to happen.
Everything will depend on what happens with Lunin, whose future is currently hanging in the air. If the Ukrainian ends up leaving this summer, Real Madrid will go all out for Joan. Therefore, they'll leave Barça without the goalkeeper they liked the most, even though it seemed impossible.
Real Madrid very alert to the decision Lunin makes about his future this summer
At the start of the season, Lunin surprised everyone by renewing his contract with the white team. His contract ends in 2026, but this way he sealed his commitment until 2030. This prevented Jorge Mendes from taking him for free to get a bigger profit.
However, the doubts about whether he's going to continue at Real Madrid haven't stopped over the months. This season, he's barely had any minutes, only when Courtois wasn't available. The fact that he didn't play in the Copa del Rey final could have ended up being decisive for him.
If the Ukrainian ends up leaving, it will force Real Madrid to look for a replacement. Right now, the best positioned is Joan García after his spectacular season. His performances with Espanyol make him the favorite to be Courtois's backup, even with a view to the future to take his place.
