Real Madrid has started talks to sign Juan Garcia from Espanyol. Barcelona wants the young goalkeeper for their summer transfer plans. Garcia must choose between the clubs during the next few days. Several Premier League teams also want to sign him. The Sport newspaper reports that Real Madrid contacted people around Garcia to show their interest.
Barcelona appears closest to completing the deal right away. Real Madrid officials like Garcia but face major problems signing him. The goalkeeper wants regular playing time and an important role on the team. Real Madrid cannot promise him these things because Thibaut Courtois plays that position. Garcia would only move to Real Madrid if Andriy Lunin leaves the club.
Lunin wants to stay at Real Madrid and will not leave easily. Real Madrid cannot make serious moves for Garcia until Lunin goes somewhere else. Their interest remains mostly for show rather than real action. The circumstances make completing this transfer very difficult at this time. Real Madrid will have to wait for better conditions to pursue Garcia seriously.
