Barcelona’s Top 3 Goalkeeper Shortlist

Barcelona Goalkeeper Search: Joan Garcia Emerges as Top Contender

Barcelona has been on the hunt for a new goalkeeper, with Espanyol’s Joan Garcia emerging as a top contender. The 23-year-old has been in stellar form in La Liga this season, catching the eye of several top clubs. With a release clause of €25m that could rise to €30m if he gets a call-up from the Spanish national team, Garcia is a hot commodity in the transfer market. Espanyol is under pressure to balance their accounts and may need to sell Garcia before the end of June. Despite interest from other clubs like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Real Madrid, Barcelona sees Garcia as their top choice for the summer transfer window.

Bart Verbruggen: A Rising Star on Barcelona’s Radar

Brighton and Netherlands goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen has also caught Barcelona’s attention. Known for his agility, ball-playing skills, and shot-stopping abilities, the 22-year-old is highly rated by the Catalan club. However, his price tag and contract situation with Brighton could pose a challenge for Barcelona in securing his services.

Lucas Chevalier: Champions League Standout Linked to Barcelona

Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has been on Barcelona’s radar since his impressive performances in the Champions League. With a contract until 2027, Chevalier’s price tag is expected to be over €40m, making him a costly option for the Spanish giants. Director of Football Deco may turn to Chevalier if Wojciech Szczesny does not agree to Barcelona’s contract renewal offer.
