Real Madrid or Barça: The New Courtois Will Sign for 1 of the 2 Spanish Giants

A Fight Looms in the Market for the Best Goalkeeper, Madrid and Barça Are Already Competing

Real Madrid has the best goalkeeper in the world as has been demonstrated in recent years. However, they are already thinking about the future, about his possible replacement. Something similar to Barça which has had to deal with Ter Stegen's serious injuries.

Both teams seem to have their sights set on the same goalkeeper, destined to be one of the best in the coming years. He is Joan García, Espanyol's goalkeeper, who is leaving everyone impressed. It seems that Real Madrid and Barça are willing to fight over him.

According to the information revealed by Eduardo Inda, both teams are after him. Among other things because his clause is "affordable at 30M and would drop to 15M if Espanyol is relegated". Something that undoubtedly makes him one of the best options right now on the scene.

"Espanyol has conveyed to Real Madrid, who are interested, that they prefer to sell him to them rather than to Barcelona" Inda has indicated. Meanwhile, the animosity between the Catalan clubs plays in favor of the Merengues. They can take advantage by securing the signing of Joan García.

Real Madrid Is Already Closely Following Joan García

During his season in the Second Division, Real Madrid was already very alert to Joan García's performance. In the First Division, he has shown that the impressions were correct, and he has consolidated. He is one of the goalkeepers with the most interventions in Europe.

With spectacular save statistics, Real Madrid has already suffered from him this season on two occasions. It is very difficult to score against him, and his performance is highly appreciated. This past weekend against Mallorca, he demonstrated it again by saving two penalties.

Just when Lunin's future is in the air despite his renewal with Real Madrid a few months ago. If the Ukrainian leaves, the club has made it clear that the bet is on Joan. Destined to be the new Courtois, one of the best goalkeepers in the international scene in a few years.
