García made his professional – and Laliga– debut on 10 January 2022, starting in a 1–2 home loss against Elche, with Aaron Ramsdale closing in on a move to Southampton.
Metro.Co. Uk reports thatThe Gunners are eager to get a deal for the highly-rated Spain Under-21 international over the line with Ramsdale poised to end his three-year stay in north Lorndon.
The England international lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting XI last season following the arrival of David Raya from Brentford, making just six further appearances after losing his place in the side in early September.
Ramsdale is now set to join Southampton who have agreed a £25million deal including add-ons for the former Bournemouth shot stopper. He is set to undergo a medical today with Saints to pay an initial £18m.
With that deal almost done, Arsenal have now submitted a €20m (£16.8m) offer for Garcia, Fabrizio Romano reports. The Gunners may have to dig a bit deeper however with Espanyol asking for his €30m (£25m) release clause to be met.
The Spanish keeper has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal.
He is Arsenal’s planned replacement for Aaron Ramsdale, who is set to join Southampton.
tbr football report that He was superb in goal for Espanyol against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday evening, in what could prove to be his last game for the club.
Espanyol don’t play again until Saturday against Rayo Vallecano, and it would seem that Arsenal hope he’ll already be wearing their colours by then.
If all goes to plan, Garcia may even join his compatriot Mikel Merino on the bench against Brighton & Hove Albion.
That being said, Arsenal have now tabled thier first bid according to reports, which is somewhere around the €20m (£17m) mark.
However, journalist Duncan Castles has just shared that he’s hearing something slightly different. that Arsenal are holding out and have made up thier mind to pay the full release clause.
The 23-year-old was part of the Spain squad that won gold at the Paris Olympics and is viewed as a future star by Gunners staff.
