the perspective of joan garcia on transfer interest
Throughout the summer, Arsenal demonstrated a keen interest in acquiring Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. The talented 23-year-old was earmarked by the Premier League club to serve as their new number two keeper. However, despite their active pursuit, Arsenal’s attempts fell short, leading them to a different resolution.
the transfer window’s closing days
As the summer transfer window began to close, Arsenal made a significant push for Garcia. Unfortunately, Espanyol’s demands proved to be too steep, compelling Arsenal to redirect their efforts toward securing Neto, a former Barcelona goalkeeper. In his recent comments to Diario AS, Garcia shared his thoughts on the situation.
staying focused during uncertainties
Reflecting on the summer, Garcia stated, “Throughout the market, I was quite calm and isolated because I was at the Olympic Games and when I arrived back, La Liga was starting. The last few days were more intense, but I was strong because as soon as the market ended, we played against Rayo. I focused on the field, which was what I had to do. I didn’t allow myself to have distractions.” His commitment to maintaining focus amid potential distractions is a testament to his professionalism and dedication to Espanyol.
embracing support from fans
Beyond the transfer discussions, Garcia expressed delight at the enthusiastic response from Espanyol supporters regarding his decision to remain with the club. He remarked, “I’m happy that people are happy that I’ve stayed and can continue to defend Espanyol’s goal, and I’m happy too. I have worked for many years for this opportunity and I am enjoying it. I hope to have a very nice season.” This sentiment underscores his connection to the club and the community, further solidifying his role within the team.
