In recent weeks, Barcelona have been linked with the possibility of signing a new goalkeeper during the summer transfer window.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is expected to leave if the opportunity presents itself, while Wojciech Szczesny could choose 2026 as the right time to retire, this time for good.
In this case, Barcelona would need a new goalkeeper, as Inaki Pena is not seen as an ideal replacement for Joan Garcia.
Club officials have identified a leading candidate ahead of the summer transfer window, which is Real Sociedad and Spain international star Alex Remiro.
Barcelona sporting director Deco has already held talks with Remiro’s agents, and the player himself has been asked about this speculation.
According to La Sexta , he has not closed the door on a possible transfer to ‘Spotify Camp Nou’.
“I heard something on social media, but right now I’m very focused on La Real. We have the Copa del Rey final and we’re very focused and excited to win it. Barça? I don’t know, I can’t say,” Remiro declared.
If he were to join Barcelona, Remiro would compete with Garcia for the starting spot.
He is also challenging the 24-year-old for a place in the Spanish national team for the 2026 World Cup, a competition he is enjoying and looking forward to with great excitement.
