Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia will have his pick of top clubs this summer, but it is not yet clear who will be take the plunge for the 23-year-old star performer. Aston Villa have been the latest team to be strongly linked with Garcia.
Last summer Arsenal made their move for the impressive goalkeeper, but could not agree a deal with Los Pericos, as they demanded his €25m release clause. That increasingly looks like a bargain, and Arsenal are one of the favourites to activate it this summer again. However the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen have all been linked with a move for Garcia too, with the former even considering buying him and loaning him out for a season so as not to allow him to slip through their grasps.
