Arsenal Set to Replace Ramsdale with Garcia
Following the imminent sale of Aaron Ramsdale to Southampton, Arsenal are poised to move forward with their pursuit of Joan Garcia from Espanyol. The Gunners have agreed on a transfer fee for Ramsdale, who is eager to secure a starting role elsewhere.
According to reports, Arsenal has already negotiated personal terms with Garcia, a promising young goalkeeper who impressed during his time at Espanyol. The Spanish club has set a €25 million release clause for Garcia, and Arsenal will need to negotiate a deal or trigger this clause.
While Arsenal has been linked with experienced goalkeeper Dan Bentley from Wolves, they have so far hesitated to meet the asking price. The rejection of a Ramsdale loan offer from Wolves may further complicate negotiations between the two clubs.
With the departure of Ramsdale, Arsenal will need to bolster their goalkeeping options. Garcia’s arrival would provide a solid replacement for the outgoing English international.
