Real Madrid left Cornellá without a wallet but with a signing, Calafat gives the OK

The player for whom Juni Calafat has approved his arrival at Real Madrid in an upcoming transfer window

The search for young talent is something Real Madrid has specialized in. With the presence of Juni Calafat, the team has managed to secure the services of several of the world's best prospects. Strengthening its squad through these operations, one of the club's current objectives is to begin to renew the goalkeeping position.

This is why the match against Espanyol was of utmost importance for the team. Despite not securing the victory, Real Madrid was able to witness the talent of Joan García. The goalkeeper of the Perico team was one of the best players of the match, making saves that were key to securing the three points.

Due to this, Juni Calafat himself has approved his signing for Real Madrid. Additionally, Joan's great performance has positioned him as a quality substitute for Thibaut Courtois in the near future.

The reinforcement for the goal

At just 23 years old, Joan García has been excelling in an excellent manner at Espanyol. The 1,980 minutes played this season are a clear indication of his importance to the team. Despite his young age, Joan has already delivered memorable performances and is being key to Espanyol's stay in the first division.

Gathering skills that make him a very complete goalkeeper, Real Madrid has seen in him a possible substitute for Courtois. The Belgian, who has been with the club since 2018, remains a pillar for the team, although his 32 years are starting to become an issue.

Preferring to have the goal secured as soon as possible, Joan García's signing could be one of Real Madrid's operations during the summer. With Calafat's approval and a 30 million euro clause, Joan's future points to being a Merengue.

The key match

With the growing interest in Joan García, it is evident that the recent match against Espanyol left something positive for Real Madrid. Now it's just a matter of time and effort for the club to manage to finalize the goalkeeper's arrival at Valdebebas.
