Barça Beats Athletic Club and Sique Rodríguez Announces a Departure: 'Loaned to...'

FC Barcelona closes LaLiga by winning at San Mamés, and the journalist takes the opportunity to break a bomb news on SER

There was nothing at stake tonight at San Mamés, with FC Barcelona and Athletic Club having done their homework long ago.

The match was intense from the start, with both teams seeking victory. Although it seemed distant, Lewandowski scared Mbappé at times in the race for the Golden Boot. In a matter of 17 minutes, he scored two goals, and even had the chance to score two more that were clear. Despite this, the big news of the night was provided by journalist Sique Rodríguez during the course of the duel at San Mamés.

Sique Rodríguez surprises: Joan García to Barça and then to...

Speaking of the news of the day, Sique Rodríguez offered updates on Cadena SER about the possible arrival of Joan García to FC Barcelona. Sique pointed out that the perico goalkeeper has already given his "ok" to sign for Barça, which will have to pay his release clause, now valued at 25 million.

An issue that had Joan García in doubt was the competition under the posts. If he leaves Espanyol, what he wants is to continue being a starter and not see his enormous progression cut short. In this regard, it seems that Barça would have the assurance that either Ter Stegen or Szczesny will leave, but in case this doesn't happen, they have a plan B.

According to what Sique Rodríguez reported, Barça has offered Joan García the option to go on loan to Valencia. Next season, Mamardashvili will leave for Liverpool and they will remain for the starting goalkeeper. Considering this, the Catalan could go to Mestalla to not see his progression cut short and continue getting minutes in LaLiga.

Barça puts the finishing touch on the season

By winning a contested duel against Athletic Club, FC Barcelona was able to bid farewell to a great season with three more points. They didn't have to give it their all, but even so, they were able to secure three points that represent a golden finish for this year.

Deco is already preparing changes, including the goalkeeper position, something Hansi Flick has requested. The chosen one is Joan García, as Sique Rodríguez has stated.
