Barcelona have found their new goalkeeper, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming that Joan García is set to join the Catalan giants from city rivals Espanyol. While the club has yet to make an official announcement, Romano reported via his social media handle that the deal is done, with only the contract signing and formalities left to be completed.

García, 23, was reportedly on the radar of several top European clubs but had made Barcelona his top priority. The young Spanish shot-stopper has impressed during his time at Espanyol and is seen as a long-term investment by Barça as they look to build a solid foundation for the future.
