Joan Garcia gives an emotional farewell to Espanyol fans as he prepares to officially join Barcelona.
The goalie has returned from vacation and wrote a message on Instagram to say goodbye to Espanyol, headed “Thanks for everything, Pericos.” “All the way!” He has also erased any mentions of Espanyol from his profile. Reported on social Media.
Barcelona is set to make Garcia deal official later today and introduce him as a new player on Friday.
The Catalans have already paid his 25 million euro release clause and signed a six-year contract with the goalkeeper.

He will thus become the club’s first addition of the summer transfer window, with the Catalans also seeking to add Nico Williams to the squad before the new season begins.
Barcelona is thought to have already reached an agreement with Williams, but must find a means to pay his release clause and make room on the wage bill for future arrivals.
Joan García earned around €400,000 at Espanyol, one of the lowest salaries in the squad. At Barça, he will earn nearly €3 million—almost ten times more it is a good one for him.
