Barça is fully focused on signing Joan García, Espanyol's goalkeeper. The blaugrana sporting management believes this is the perfect time to carry out this operation, which would strengthen a key position for the future. The goalkeeper's release clause is €25 million, and at Can Barça they're determined to activate it as soon as possible.
Negotiations are moving at a rapid pace, with the intention to announce the agreement within hours. Joan García has been one of the most promising goalkeepers of the season in La Liga, and his arrival would be a game-changer.
Left winger and sales will be the next step
Once Joan García's signing is completed, all the sporting management's attention will focus on strengthening the left wing. Flick has requested a game-changing player for that side, and Marcus Rashford and Luis Díaz are on the list of candidates. Both profiles are appreciated for their dribbling ability, goal-scoring, and experience in major competitions.
However, to make such a significant signing, Barça needs to free up salary cap space. The club's financial situation requires them to make sales to comply with La Liga's Financial Fair Play. The technical department is already working on possible departures, aiming to balance the books and allow for new signings that will raise the team's competitive level.
Pau Víctor, one of the sacrificed
In this regard, one of the sales that is starting to take shape is Pau Víctor's. The striker wants to have more playing time, something that has been very difficult this season due to the level of Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal.
The player's entourage has communicated to the club the need to find a solution that benefits both parties. Pau Víctor doesn't want to spend another year in the shadows and Barça is open to a sale.
Betis and Sevilla, interested in Pau Víctor
According to "El Nacional," both Sevilla and Real Betis are interested in signing Pau Víctor this summer. Both clubs are looking to strengthen their attack with a young, dynamic, and promising profile, and they believe Barça's striker fits perfectly. The competition promises to be intense, with everything suggesting there will be a bidding war for his signing.
Whatever Pau Víctor's destination, it's clear he'll be one of the names of the summer transfer window and that his departure will be key for Barça's moves.
