In an exclusive update, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Arsenal has submitted an official proposal to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García.
The proposal, brought by agents Juanma López and Andy Bara, includes a bid with €20m in add-ons.
According to Romano, García has already agreed to personal terms with Arsenal weeks ago, and the club has made him their top target to replace Aaron Ramsdale. However, Espanyol is holding out for García’s €30m release clause, creating a potential stumbling block in the negotiations.
García’s desire to join Arsenal could drive the deal forward, but the Spanish club’s valuation may force Arsenal to reconsider their offer or explore alternative options.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Arsenal fans await the outcome of this pivotal move to strengthen their goalkeeping position.
With the proposal on the table, the next few days will be crucial in determining whether Arsenal can secure García’s services and meet Espanyol’s demands.
The Gunners’ ambition to bolster their squad with top talent hangs in the balance, making this transfer pursuit a thrilling narrative in the world of football.
