Barcelona is comparing the new goalkeeper to Valdes

There is great joy following the first training sessions with the new goalkeeper of the Barcelona team, 24-year-old Spaniard Joan Garcia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to the Barca Universal portal, renowned journalist Jyerar Romero spoke about this on the Jijantes FC broadcast. According to the source, Garcia is being recognized within the club as the goalkeeper with the best reactions since Victor Valdes.

Victor Valdes is the legendary goalkeeper of the "Blaugrana" team, having achieved success in Europe with Barcelona. Such a high rating for goalkeepers in Catalonia has not been seen in recent years.

Currently, the competition for the first-choice goalkeeper position in the Barcelona team is very strong. Besides Garcia, there are three goalkeepers in the main squad: team captain Marc-André ter Stegen, as well as the experienced Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who has extended his contract, and Inaki Peña, who played in the main squad during the first half of last season.

The transfer of Joan Garcia was officially confirmed on June 18. The contract with the player is set until the end of June 2031.

The Barcelona team aims to achieve great success in the future with their new goalkeeper.
