New Barcelona signing to pen 5-year contract on Wednesday
La Liga giants Barcelona are set to tie up the club's first official signing of the summer this coming Wednesday. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Joan García as the player primed to put pen to paper on terms with the Blaugrana. Advertisement The name of goalkeeper Joan has of course dominated the headlines in Catalunya's capital for several weeks now. This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that, amid a search for reinforcements between the posts, those behind the scenes at the Camp Nou had set their sights firmly on the Espanyol star. Negotiations, in turn, were kicked into gear with Joan and his entourage, over the terms of a contract. And with as much now in place, all that remains is for Barcelona to pay the 24-year-old's release clause. In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of the transfer, on the part of Deco and co, now being considered imminent. Advertisement As per a report from Sport: 'Barça have everything ready for the Espanyol goalkeeper to sign a contract for the next five seasons this Wednesday, according to 'Catalunya Ràdio' and this newspaper can confirm.' Joan's presentation as the newest member of Hansi Flick's squad will then come a few days later, upon the conclusion of the Spaniard's summer vacation. Conor Laird – GSFN

A fresh insight into the plans of the Barcelona brass to bring in Joan García from Espanyol has this weekend been provided. The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and confirms that the Blaugrana's intention is to imminently deposit the goalkeeper's release clause. Advertisement It is of course common knowledge across Spain at this point that Barcelona have set their sights firmly on Joan's signature. Amid an ongoing search for reinforcements between the posts for next season, the Blaugrana have earmarked the Espanyol standout as the ideal profile for present and future alike. An agreement has already been reached with Joan and his representatives over the terms of a long-term contract, meaning all that remains is to pay the 24-year-old's release clause. And if the latest word stemming from the Spanish press is anything to go by, as much looks set to be forthcoming early next week. Advertisement As per Sport: 'The key now is the payment of the termination clause of 25 million euros, plus CPI.

Barcelona star is ‘angry' with the club's recent behaviour
A leading member of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has been left hugely frustrated by the club's recent behaviour behind the scenes. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Marc-André ter Stegen as the player in question. Advertisement Ter Stegen, of course, is in the midst of what have proven an altogether tumultuous few weeks in Catalunya's capital. After widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the Barcelona brass had set their sights on the signature of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García, it quickly became clear that Ter Stegen's place in Hansi Flick's squad was no longer secure. Not only that, but, amid a heavy backlash against the German, the Blaugrana faithful went as far as to start an online campaign, calling for his immediate sale: All of this taken into consideration, it should therefore not come as a major surprise to hear of Ter Stegen having been mentally affected by the recent developments surrounding his name. Advertisement As per Sport: 'Ter Stegen, although he does not say so, is angry with the situation and with everything that is happening.' The 33-year-old is said to have been left altogether unimpressed with the lack of transparency afforded to him by the Camp Nou hierarchy, therefore seeking out crunch talks with Hansi Flick and Deco alike. In the case of being informed that he is on the market, though, it is reiterated that 'he will not make it easy if he has to leave'. Conor Laird – GSFN

Barcelona star arrives in the city ‘to close his exit'
A member of the loan ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona this week returned to the city, in the hopes of securing a permanent exit from the club. That's according to Diario Sport, who point towards Clément Lenglet as the player in question. Advertisement Defender Lenglet for his part spent this past season out on loan away from Barcelona, spending the term in Spain's capital with Atlético Madrid. And the Frenchman went on to find some of his very best form on the books of Diego Simeone's side, on his way to three goals and two assists in 34 appearances across all competitions. The understanding, in turn, is that Atlético and Lenglet alike are keen on extending their time together beyond the coming summer. Ahead of the fast-approaching Club World Cup, a tournament at which he would like to play full part for the Rojiblancos, Lenglet therefore returned to base in Catalunya's capital this week. Advertisement As per a report from Sport: 'He is very comfortable and wants to continue under Simeone's orders. For this reason, the Frenchman arrived in Barcelona on Wednesday to meet with Barça's sporting management.' Barcelona, keen to shift Lenglet's high wages off their books once and for all, are expected to be open to a number of potential avenues when it comes to the stopper's return to Atléti.

Barcelona make final call on Neymar free agent return
The brass at La Liga giants Barcelona have ruled out a free agent move for Neymar Jr. this summer. That's according to Diario Sport, who have confirmed that, despite previous claims to the contrary, no reunion is on the cards between the Blaugrana and their former winger. Advertisement The subject of Neymar's potential return has of course long proven a major talking point in Catalunya's capital. This comes after the Brazilian made himself available to his former employers, amid their ongoing search for reinforcements out wide with a view to next season. As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Neymar's push for a Camp Nou comeback looks set to fall on deaf ears. As per a report from Sport: 'Barça have definitively put the return of the Brazilian on hold due to his repeated injuries and the emergence of Lamine Yamal, who will be the superstar of the new Spotify Camp Nou.'
