Tottenham might have already submitted an offer for the services of Espanyol shot-stopper Joan Garcia.
While Guglielmo Vicario has done a decent job in goal for Tottenham, it seems the North London club want to add more depth in that position. They are interested in the services of Joan Garcia and according to a report from AS, they might have already tabled an offer to bring him to England.
Garcia has had an impressive rise at Espanyol, he was promoted to their first team in 2021. The 23-year-old finally got an extended run in the first team towards the end of the last season and he didn’t disappoint. He was involved in 21 games and managed to keep a clean sheet in 12 outings. He played a big part in helping them gain promotion to the Spanish top flight.
His impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed and Spurs are the ones keen on signing him. They added Vicario to their ranks last summer for €17.5 million from Empoli. While he has done a decent overall job, certain weaknesses in his game have been highlighted on multiple occasions. To further bolster their defence, Ange Postecoglou is looking to add another goalkeeper to the mix and they feel Garcia could be a great signing for the short as well as long run. He could compete with Vicario for a place in the starting XI.
The Spanish goalkeeper’s contract with the club runs until the summer of 2028. Espanyol are keen on keeping him in their ranks and the player is also in no hurry to leave the club as he is excited to be their number one in the Spanish top flight.
But, he is tempted by Tottenham’s interest in his services. The report suggests that they might have already submitted an offer for the 23-year-old who has a €25 million release clause. Espanyol have a clear stance on his future, they won’t sell unless the offer equals the release clause or is just slightly on the lower side.
