La Liga club refuses to sell player to Barca.

Espanyol are trying to persuade goalkeeper Joan Garcia to move to Newcastle United or other Premier League teams this summer.

Joan Garcia has emerged as one of the most promising goalkeepers in La Liga this season.

According to AS, Garcia wants to decide his future soon, and Espanyol's management hopes their player will choose Newcastle or other clubs in England.

Espanyol are worried about Barcelona's determination to sign Garcia, and have been repeatedly trying to persuade the goalkeeper not to move to their city rivals. Espanyol and Barcelona are fierce rivals in Catalonia.

The relationship between the two sides has deteriorated in recent years, particularly after Barca players were assaulted by Espanyol fans for celebrating their La Liga title win at their rival's RCDE Stadium at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Currently, Garcia is keeping clubs on edge, awaiting his decision. With a release clause worth only 25 million euros, Garcia is considered a great bargain for any club wanting to acquire him.

The remaining challenge for Barcelona, ​​Newcastle, or other clubs is to convince this player. At 23 years old, the Espanyol star is one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Spain.

This season, Garcia has impressed with his quick reflexes, consistency, and calm demeanor under pressure. He averages nearly four saves per game, with a 74% success rate. The 23-year-old goalkeeper also stands out for his effective ball distribution from the back line.

Besides Barcelona and Newcastle, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all interested in acquiring the player. The management of Manchester United and Newcastle are confident they have the advantage in persuading Garcia.

If he were to join these two clubs, this goalkeeper would be able to compete for a starting position immediately. Meanwhile, Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, and Real Madrid currently only consider Garcia as a second-choice goalkeeper, as Ter Stegen, Raya, and Thibaut Courtois are almost irreplaceable.

Chelsea's four goals secured their Conference League victory. In the early hours of May 29th, Chelsea defeated Betis 4-1 in the Conference League final, thus completing their collection of continental titles.
