### Joan Garcia Nears Move to Barcelona Amidst Ter Stegen and Szczęsny Updates

Barcelona is reportedly on the brink of finalizing a deal for Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, sources indicate. According to RAC1, the Catalan giants are close to completing the transfer and have assured that they will not pressure current first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to depart.

Another report from Jijantes corroborates this information, highlighting that Garcia is "one step away from signing with Barça" and will not be loaned out after the transfer. The deal is expected to be valued at €25 million as Garcia prepares to compete directly with Ter Stegen for the starting position.

Despite the arrival of Garcia, Marc-Andre ter Stegen has affirmed his commitment to staying with Barcelona next season. When asked about the potential signing of Garcia, the German goalkeeper confirmed that he plans to remain at the club.

In addition to Garcia and Ter Stegen, Barcelona appears poised to retain Wojciech Szczęsny. The Poland international is reportedly on the verge of agreeing to a contract extension, and is anticipated to continue his tenure with the team.

As Barcelona strengthens its roster with key signings and contract renewals, the competition for the goalkeeper position promises to be intense in the upcoming season.
