From Bernabéu to Camp Nou, Florentino Pérez doesn't want him: 'Let him go to Barça'

Florentino has made a decision about a young prospect who was aiming for Madrid but will end up at Camp Nou

Florentino Pérez is already fully working on planning for the next season. After a regular season, it's time to prepare for the future with calm and determination. The white president wants to return Real Madrid to the top of world soccer.

Florentino Pérez takes control of the changes

We could see him very emotional at the farewell of Modric and Ancelotti, two legends closing a glorious chapter. Florentino Pérez knows that a new cycle full of challenges is beginning. As he has shown before, he doesn't hesitate to make key decisions.

Real Madrid has been the best of the last decade, without question. But now it's time to renew part of the locker room. Besides the already known departures, more movements are being considered to adjust the group to new demands.

Lucas Vázquez will also pack his bags after many years at the white house. Rodrygo is getting closer to saying goodbye. With these departures, space opens up for new faces and new leaders in Xabi Alonso's project.

That's why the arrival of Dean Huijsen to strengthen the defense has already been confirmed. The official announcement of Álvaro Carreras and Alexander-Arnold is also expected this week. However, there is one name that is no longer in Florentino Pérez's plans.

Barça takes advantage of Florentino's NO

For months, the president seriously considered signing a young goalkeeper who has excelled in LaLiga. His performance has been very outstanding at RCD Espanyol. But finally, Florentino has said "NO" and has left the path clear to Camp Nou.

He is Joan García, a 24-year-old goalkeeper with great potential and a lot of personality between the posts. Barça has already reached a preliminary agreement with him. If there are no last-minute changes, he will be a new culé reinforcement for the goal.

Joan García will play at Camp Nou

Florentino Pérez has decided not to bid for Joan García, as he fully trusts Courtois and Lunin. He considers that position to be very well covered. Although Joan is promising, he doesn't want to hinder the development of his current goalkeepers.

Meanwhile, Joan García looks favorably on his arrival at Barça, where he could compete from the start. At Espanyol, he has been key, showing reflexes, security, and good ball distribution. His style fits very well with the culé model.

Florentino fully trusts his players

The transfer won't be very high, although the final details are still being adjusted. Barça thus takes one of the young goalkeepers with the most future in the country. Florentino, without regrets, makes it clear that his bet is at home.

With this decision, Real Madrid loses a young promise but keeps its trust in the current project. Meanwhile, Barça strengthens with national talent and continues to look to the future with ambition.
