Arsenal think they can sign ‘brilliant’ player for £12m this summer in discounted deal
Arsenal have a chance to sign one of their targets for a bargain fee this summer.
The Gunners are getting busy in the transfer market after a very quiet June. They have turned David Raya’s lಌoan into a permanent deal and have launched bids for new players too.
Arsenal are in talks to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, while Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Gunners have made a bid♔ for Ajax’s Tommy Setford as well.
Mikel ♉Arteta and Edu are a▨lso set to bid again for Dan Bentley after seeing their first of﷽fer reje𝓡cted by Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Now, there is an update on another player 🗹Arsenal are really interested in.
What Arsenal think about Joan Garcia ahead of potential move
Arsenal are definitely in the market for 🗹a new goalkeeper.
Raya is the undisputed number one having completed a permanent switch to the Emirates. Aaron Ramsdale is currently his deputy, while Karl Hein is below them in the pecking order.
That, on paper, is a solid trio of goalkeepers to have in the squad, but it’s not as simple a🦋s it looks for Arteta and Edu.
Ramsdale could leave Arsenal in search of a number-one role elsewhere, while Hein is expected to be sent 🐠out on loan in the 2024/25 season.
Bentley seems l💫ike the man Arsenal want as their third-choice goalkeeper, but if Rams🐠dale leaves, their preferred choice is Joan Garcia of Espanyol.
That’s according to , who claim that Arsenal’s goalkeeping coach Inaꩵki Cana along with others at the club l🐻ike Garcia and believe that he is ‘a suitable profile to deputise for Raya’ at the Emirates.
The report reveals that the goalkeeper’s release clause has gone up to £21 million (€25m) from £12.6 million (€15m) following Espanyol’🌺s promotion last season.
Arsenal, however, believe they can sign Garcia for considerably less than his current release clause – perhaps 🃏even less than his old clause which was worth £12.6 million. That🦩 would be a bargain.
One thing needs to happen before Arsenal decide to sign Garcia
Garcia is a really talented young goalkeeper.
The Spaniard, still only 23 years old, played a massive part in helping Espanyol achieve prom🌸otion in the 2023/24 season. He showed the ‘‘ ability he possesses.
Arsenal are right to target Garcia, but the Gunners are not✨ going 🥀to make a move to sign him this summer unless one thing happens – Ramsdale leaves.
It is still unclear whether the Englishman will be able to find a new club in this window as Arsenal want to recoup the £30 million they spent on him and have no interest in all෴owing him to leave on loan.
It will be interesting to see what will happen, but if Ramsdale stays, th💙ere’s ♏no need for the Gunners to go after Garcia this summer.
