Earlier this week, Espanyol chief Fran Garagarza gave Arsenal the green light to sign Garcia in the summer transfer window.
Garcia appeared to be trying to put pressure on Espanyol to sell towards the end of the January transfer window by insisting it would be ‘good for everyone’ if he left.
Arsenal failed to make any signings during the January transfer window despite the Gunners challenging for the Premier League and Champions League under Arteta.
Garcia, who has played in all but two of Espanyol’s 24 league games this season, will be available to sign for €25m this summer due to a release clause in his contract.
Arsenal have been given fresh hope of signing Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia in the summer.
