Barcelona Nears Goalkeeper Joan Garcia Signing Amid Financial Restructuring

Celta Vigo has secured midfielder Ilaix Moriba on a permanent deal until 2029 after exercising a buyout option from RB Leipzig, paying €6 million for the former Barcelona La Masia graduate who struggled to establish himself in Germany but impressed during loans in Spain. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona is actively reshaping its squad to comply with Financial Fair Play rules, with Joan Garcia's €25 million release clause triggered to sign the goalkeeper from Espanyol, signaling a likely departure for long-serving keeper Marc-André ter Stegen, who has attracted interest from clubs including Galatasaray and Saudi Pro League teams. Joan Garcia's signing has been unofficially confirmed by his glove sponsor's social media posts, celebrating his move to one of the world's top clubs, while Barcelona's management continues to negotiate the best structure for the transfers. Additionally, the charity event Soccer Aid for UNICEF at Old Trafford will feature football legend Rivaldo playing for the Rest of the World team and actor Tom Hiddleston joining England's management, highlighting a star-studded lineup for the match. These developments reflect the ongoing player movements and high-profile football events shaping the 2025 season's landscape.
