World: Deco& Boyan had dinner with Joan Garcia and persuaded him to join Barcelona in person

June 12 According to World Sports, after the end of last season's La Liga, Barcelona senior executives Deko and Boyan had dinner with Joan Garcia and persuaded him to join Barcelona in person.

Barcelona has always been optimistic about Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. It is reported that Barcelona will pay 25 million euros in full termination fee to sign the player, and the two sides will sign the contract for 6 years. According to World Sports, Barcelona's sports director Deco had personally persuaded Joan Garcia to choose Barcelona, ​​and that dinner between the two sides played a big role.

Joan Garcia performed well at Espanyol and received many invitations. In addition to Barcelona, ​​Premier League teams such as Manchester City also participated in the competition. At that time, Deco and Joan Garcia's agent had already been in contact, but the player still needed to be convinced to agree, so Deco decided to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the player. But Joan Garcia temporarily put negotiations on hold before Espanyol relegation, so it was not until the end of the last round of La Liga last season that the interview between Barcelona senior executives and Joan Garcia was held.

At that time, both sides had dinner in Barcelona, ​​and the attendance included Deco, Boyan, Joan Garcia, the player's agent and the player's partner. Deco personally had a detailed discussion with Joan Garcia and explained to him the Barcelona club's plan for him. Deco said that Joan Garcia is Barcelona's current and future goalkeeper, but just like players on any strong team, Joan Garcia also needs to work hard every day to win a starting position for himself. Deco had said these words to the player's agent, but this time he told Joan Garcia in person.

"World Sports" said that Joan Garcia was very excited after the dinner with Barcelona senior executives, but he did not agree to join the franchise on the spot. But after that, Joan Garcia had a dinner with her family and agent and discussed it before officially agreeing to join Barcelona.
