Barcelona is looking for a long-term replacement for their current number one goalkeeper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has been dealing with injuries and is now 33 years old. Garcia has had an impressive season, making a record number of saves in La Liga with 146 in 38 games.

Garcia's contract includes a €25 million release clause, which has attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs. Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are among the teams interested in signing him, and Garcia is understood to prefer a move to England over staying in Spain.
