Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has identified Espanyol’s standout goalkeeper, Joan Garcia, as a potential target amid uncertainty surrounding the club’s goalkeeping situation.
According to DefensaCentral, Perez has been highly impressed by Garcia’s performances, which have placed him among the top goalkeepers in terms of saves and clearances.
As Real Madrid navigates an uncertain future between the posts, Garcia’s rise as a top-tier goalkeeper has not gone unnoticed.
Thibaut Courtois, the club’s first-choice keeper, has received a lucrative offer from a Saudi Pro League team.
However, he has made it clear that he has no plans to leave Madrid. While Courtois is expected to stay, the interest from abroad has only intensified discussions about the team’s long-term goalkeeping options.
Meanwhile, Andriy Lunin, who signed a contract extension at the start of the season, may be growing frustrated with his lack of playing time.
With limited opportunities to feature in the starting lineup, he could consider a move elsewhere to secure regular first-team football.
In this context, Perez’s interest in Garcia becomes even more significant. The young shot-stopper’s impressive form has not only drawn Real Madrid’s attention but also that of several other top clubs.
If Madrid decides to make a move, they are likely to face strong competition for his signature. However, Perez’s keen interest suggests the club is serious about reinforcing their goalkeeping department.
Garcia’s strong performances and outstanding statistics make him a highly attractive prospect for Real Madrid.
With Perez closely monitoring his progress, it remains to be seen whether the club will take concrete steps to secure his services.
One thing is certain—Garcia’s future will be a hot topic in the coming weeks and months.
