Tottenham beats Real Madrid and Arsenal in race for coveted Spanish player
By Manuel Meza
As the summer progresses, transfer window rumors are multiplying, and Tottenham continues to be a central figure in many of them. Now, according to reports from Spain, Spurs have outpaced Real Madrid in the race for a talented 23-year-old footballer.
According to El Desmarque, Tottenham is now in 'pole position' to secure the services of Joan García, a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for LaLiga side RCD Espanyol.
García has already been linked to other major Premier League clubs, including Spurs' London rivals, Arsenal. This was reported by AS, which also connected him to the record UEFA Champions League winners.
El Desmarque now confirms Madrid's interest but also highlights Tottenham's, asserting that the Merengues face stiff competition from London, positioning Spurs as the leaders in the race for the young and sought-after goalkeeper.

Joan García has a release clause of 25 million euros, which the outlet describes as a very accessible fee for Premier League clubs. The same source indicates that Ange Postecoglou's team considers the Spanish goalkeeper ideal for providing competition to Guglielmo Vicario during the 2024-2025 season.
It makes sense for Spurs to seek a goalkeeper, given that Fraser Forster is very likely to leave at the end of the next campaign. However, the price is considerably high for a backup. The usual recommendation in transfer rumors remains the same: patience and caution.
García started 14 matches last season for Espanyol, conceding 7 goals.
