FC Barcelona's season under Hansi Flick's leadership has once again excited the Barça fans. The blaugranas have achieved a domestic treble by winning LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. In addition, they have won every Clásico against Real Madrid, featuring Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Bellingham, and company.
Barça's superiority, with a squad full of academy players and high-profile signings, has turned the club into an entity that commands respect on the field. Thanks to Hansi Flick's seriousness, work ethic, and high-level ability, the Culers have returned to what they once were.
In fact, the squad works very well in every area, but the goalkeeping position has raised more doubts this year. Ter Stegen's serious injury, combined with Iñaki Peña's departure and the uncertainty surrounding Szczesny's future, mean that Barça aren't ruling out signing a goalkeeper. Deco has found the ideal formula.
Solutions made in Deco
Deco, who is already working to strengthen the squad for next season, has started working on the goalkeeping position. The Portuguese would have in mind for Ter Stegen to stay, Iñaki Peña to look for a new club, and Szczesny's situation, which remains hanging in the air.
Given the Polish goalkeeper's indecision, Barça want to sign Joan García, and depending on what happens with Szczesny's future, they'll do one thing or another. Barça's idea is that if the Polish goalkeeper stays, Joan García will go on loan to Valencia. If the former Arsenal and Juventus player leaves, Joan García would join FC Barcelona to compete directly with Ter Stegen for the starting spot.
Joan García, a goalkeeper for the future
The young RCD Espanyol goalkeeper, Joan García, is 24 years old and would be a signing for the future for Barça. His height, 6 ft. 3 in. (1.91 m), makes him a very powerful goalkeeper in aerial play and one-on-ones. His current club managed to avoid relegation, which meant he was going to face many shots because the overall level isn't too high.
In LaLiga, Joan García has played all 38 matches, keeping a clean sheet in 8 games with RCD Espanyol. With this, Joan García is the goalkeeper with the most saves in LaLiga. A total of 146, ahead of Sergio Herrera from Osasuna or Dmitrovic from already relegated Leganés.
