The Spanish goalkeeper Joan García, who on Friday has signed the contract with FC Barcelona until 2031 in a private event at the offices of his new club, has assured that he really wants to start playing in the first Barca team, which has described as a very exciting project.

“When there is such a young team and with such good players it is a very exciting project. In addition, I am lucky to meet some of the team's players. I am eager to start and be with them,” said the former Espanyol player in statements to the media of the Barca entity.

The goalkeeper has reached the offices of the Barca Club to formalize the commitment to his new team accompanied by the president of the Barca entity, Joan Laporta, sports director Anderson Luis de Souza 'Deco', and the sports vice president, Rafa Yuste, among other members of the Sports Commission.

García, 24, has sealed the signing of his contract, until June 30, 2031, after last Wednesday the Barca club confirmed its incorporation after the payment of the termination clause 25 million euros plus the IPC to Espanyol.

“I am very happy, I really wanted to arrive this day and finally arrived,” said Sallent's goalkeeper, who has pointed out that he has signed for the Barca club to “continue growing as a goalkeeper and get very beautiful things.”

The player, formed in the lower categories of Espanyol, is defined as a brave goalkeeper, who always likes to help the team in all the situations of the game. “I consider myself a quick goalkeeper of reflexes and in the air game I try to contribute things,” he added.

Garcia, who has made these statements in a room of the offices with a model of the Spotify Camp Nou in the background, will be a rival of the Polish Wojciech Szczesny and the German Marc-André Ter Stegen in the fight to win the confidence of coach Hansi Flick as a titular goalkeeper.

After signing the contract and making his first statements as a player of the first Barca team, the Catalan goalkeeper approached the fans waiting in the outskirts of the stadium offices to sign autographs before leaving the facilities of his new club.
