Siro López announces war between Real Madrid and Barça over a player: 'I want to see him...'

The star who is going to spark a fierce battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been revealed by Siro López

With several signings starting to take shape, Real Madrid continues preparing for the Club World Cup and the upcoming season. By significantly strengthening their defense, Real Madrid hasn't taken their eyes off the goal. Despite having Courtois and Lunin as goalkeepers, Real Madrid has set their sights on one of the best goalkeepers in all of LaLiga.

Joan García, currently playing for Espanyol, is the goalkeeper Real Madrid has shown interest in. However, Barcelona has also shown interest in acquiring Joan's services during the summer. This has led Siro López to recently comment on this battle: "I want to see him at Real Madrid."

With these words, Siro López made it clear that Joan García would be a great addition to Real Madrid's goal. Although some rumors suggest that Real Madrid will give up, Siro fully trusts that this won't become a reality.

Siro López's warning

Throughout their historic rivalry, Real Madrid and Barcelona have faced off in the transfer markets. Fighting for young prospects or established players, both clubs have even ended up with the same player. While Joan García's case doesn't resemble the latter, it is the reason for the imminent fight between Real Madrid and the Culers.

At 24 years old, Joan García has managed to have his breakthrough season after being the hero of Espanyol's survival. Achieving 8 clean sheets and conceding 51 goals, Joan has shown his potential to become the best goalkeeper in the world.

Although some rumors point to Barcelona as the team closest to signing Joan, Siro trusts that this won't become reality. His words have made it clear that Barcelona won't be a rival for Real Madrid in this important operation.

The battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona

Although Barcelona has managed to put up some fight in the past, their precarious financial situation prevents them from competing against Real Madrid. Completely ruined for years, Barcelona really won't be able to fight for Joan's signing against the white club.
