Joan García attracts Premier League interest amid massive Barcelona release clause

Barcelona has set a massive release clause for goalkeeper Joan García, reportedly ranging between €400 million and €500 million, to protect the 25-year-old from interest by Premier League clubs. After signing him from Espanyol on a contract lasting until June 2031, the Catalan club views him as a long-term pillar, aligning his buyout value with high-profile assets like Lamine Yamal.

Premier League sides, specifically Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, are reportedly monitoring García. Scouts are evaluating his build-up play and decision-making to see if his sweeper-keeper profile fits their tactical requirements. While no formal negotiations have begun, his technical proficiency and composure under pressure have made him a target for elite European talent evaluators.

In broader La Liga goalkeeper rankings, Thibaut Courtois remains the top-rated option with an overall rating of 90, followed by Joan García at 86 and Jan Oblak at 88.
