Atlético on the trail of the 'Angel of Sallent'
Atlético de Madrid has Joan Garcia, the Espanyol goalkeeper who is dazzling in LaLiga, on their radar. His spectacular performance has not gone unnoticed, and several major European teams, including the Colchoneros, are reportedly closely following the goalkeeper, considered by many to be the best in the league.
With 101 saves, Joan Garcia has become one of the revelations of the season. Despite the interest he is generating, the young goalkeeper remains grounded and focused on continuing to improve. ‘I’m feeling very good, better and better.
There is a difference between the Joan from the beginning of the season and the level I am giving now,’ he has declared, demonstrating his ambition to continue growing. Atlético, aware that Oblak could leave the club in the future, sees Joan Garcia as a possible replacement of guarantees.
The goalkeeper’s name is underlined on Cholo Simeone’s list of possible signings. Espanyol, for their part, are confident of retaining their star, although they are aware that his release clause could fall short in the face of interest from major clubs.
The player has been awarded the LaLiga Best Save Award in February, thanks to his spectacular intervention against Real Sociedad. Garcia, when asked about the rumors, prefers to focus on the present and continue adding points for his team.
