Real Madrid has entered negotiations to sign Juan Garcia, the goalkeeper of Espanyol, who is a primary target for Barcelona during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to the newspaper "Sport."

The future of Juan Garcia is one of the most prominent issues currently in the transfer market, as the young goalkeeper is expected to make his decision in the coming days, amidst significant interest from Barcelona and several clubs in the Premier League.

Although Barcelona seems to be the closest to securing the deal, the newspaper "Sport" revealed that Real Madrid has recently made contact with the player's surroundings to confirm its ongoing interest in signing the goalkeeper and to monitor him closely.

Garcia is admired within the royal club's corridors; however, his chances of joining appear complicated at the moment, especially since the goalkeeper is looking for guaranteed playing minutes and a key role, which Real Madrid cannot offer given the presence of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

The newspaper also indicated that Real Madrid will not move seriously towards the deal unless Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin leaves, a step that does not seem easy given Lunin's desire to continue with the team.

Thus, Real Madrid's interest in signing Juan Garcia remains largely symbolic at this time, given the circumstances that do not favor completing the deal right now.
