Top transfer target has an offer on table from Barcelona – report

Barcelona are moving swiftly in the transfer market, and their next target is Espanyol’s rising star Joan Garcia.

In fact, according to Mundo Deportivo, the goalkeeper already has a formal offer from Barça, and the club is waiting patiently for his response.

The outlet mentions that the 24-year-old shot-stopper, who is also being courted by several top clubs, is expected to make a final decision between Friday and Monday, after holding key discussions with his representatives.

The release clause in his contract is €25 million, and with Espanyol powerless to block the move, Barcelona want to strike while they can.

Barcelona’s offer already on the table
The offer from Barcelona has been in place for some time. The contract is set to run for five years and includes a bonus if Garcia plays for the Spanish national team, similar to the clause in his current deal with Espanyol.

There is already a verbal agreement in place with his agents, though the final call lies with the player.
