Barcelona Officially Registers Joan Garcia Ahead of New Season

Barcelona has completed the registration of goalkeeper Joan Garcia with La Liga, making the keeper officially available for the team ahead of the 2026-2027 season. This is an important step in the club's preparations for the new campaign.

Garcia's registration comes much earlier compared to last season, when Barcelona needed to finalize his registration before the start of their first match in La Liga. The Catalan club is counting on the young goalkeeper to be one of the key elements in their project moving forward.

Garcia joined Barcelona in the summer of 2025, having excelled with Espanyol and established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in La Liga, before officially signing his contract with the Catalan club.

Reports indicate that Garcia could receive the number 1 jersey for the new season, while the final numbers for Barcelona's goalkeepers are expected to be confirmed with the completion of the official squad registration. Last season, Garcia wore the number 13, while Szczesny carried the number 25.

Barcelona is preparing to kick off its journey in the Spanish league for the new season, amid expectations for the announcement of the final squad and player shirt numbers, including new signings and those returning from loan.
