The goalkeeper is impressing this season, and all indications are that he will say goodbye to Espanyol
Joan García is keen to leave Espanyol this summer, and her destination seems to be becoming increasingly clear: the Premier League. The young goalkeeper, who has excelled in recent weeks, has attracted the interest of several clubs with his solid performances between the sticks – and among them, Bournemouth with Andoni Iraola now stands out.
The English team, who are in the middle of the table, want to strengthen their goalkeeping position for next season and see the Spanish goalkeeper as a solid and promising option. Although Arsenal have long been interested (they even made a bid of around €20 million last summer), Bournemouth could have a decisive advantage: being able to guarantee him playing time from day one.

If Neto and Kepa disappear, Joan García will become a prime target
As the newspaper AS reports, the transition depends on several factors. Bournemouth are planning to allow Neto to return to his parent club after his loan spell, and they are also following up on the future of Kepa Arrizabalaga – whose loan spell is coming to an end and will not be retained by Chelsea. They want a permanent transfer for him.
Joan García, who is currently focused on helping Espanyol secure their stay in La Liga, will play her final games in the blue and white shirt. Unless something unexpected happens, he will wear a new club shirt next season. And all signs point to this new chapter happening in England, with Bournemouth poised to make a major push to secure his signature. The countdown has already started.
