Barcelona transfer target set to sign 6-year deal with the club

An update on the contract terms set to be afforded to incoming Barcelona signing Joan García has on Wednesday been forthcoming online.

This comes amid confirmation that the Spaniard is set to commit to the Blaugrana for even longer than previously thought.

Just official confirmation is of course missing from Joan’s move across Catalunya, from Espanyol to city rivals Barcelona.

The shot-stopper has long agreed to terms with Deco and co, who are preparing to deposit his release clause with La Liga, potentially as soon as later today.

Previously, the understanding was that Joan was primed to put pen to paper on a contract at the Camp Nou through the summer of 2030.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, though, this will in fact not be the case. Instead, the 24-year-old is ready to commit to Barcelona for the next six seasons:

‘As this newspaper has been able to confirm, Joan García will sign as a Blaugrana player until 2031, that is, for six seasons.’
