Arsenal are willing to trigger the release clause of their Spanish target this summer. They have monitored the player since long time and even made moves last summer. They are now said to take the next step and land the player this summer.
Gunners are set for a major summer transfer window this time. They are said to spend big as already annouced by Mikel Arteta. There are new comings expected in almost all parts for the pitch. One of those is goal-keeping where the North London club is in need of backup keeper.
Arsenal opted to make David Raya their permanent keeper last summer. The Spaniard earned the regular spot after impressing on loan. However, this resulted in Aaron Ramsdale moving away from the club which left Raya without cover.
Gunners then tried to sign Joan Garcia of Espanyol. However, the Spanish club was not willing to sell him as the transfer window was about to close. They wanted Arsenal to pay the full release clause which resulted in failure of deal.
Arsenal prepared to trigger Joan Garcia’s release clause
According to El Nacional CAT, Gunners are now prepared to trigger the release clause of Joan Garcia. The clause is said to be in the region of €20 million. The player is also said to be convinced by the idea of moving to Premier League. However, Barcelona are trying to hijack the deal. In addition, there is interested from Italy and Germany too.
Garcia has established himself as one of the best keepers in La Liga. He is 23 years old which will make him a long-term investment. Garcia has played 29 games this season and has recorder 5 clean sheets. In addition, he has made 106 saves to keep Espanyol out of the relegation zone. It will be a very smart signing if Arsenal are able to pull it off.
