Barcelona secured Joan Garcia, but reports reveal Burnley attempted to hijack the transfer last summer before he signed for the La Liga giants.

Barcelona landed promising goalkeeper Joan Garcia last summer, but reports reveal Burnley were also in pursuit. The 24-year-old made 146 saves in La Liga and attracted interest from England, with Burnley owner Alan Pace having ties to Espanyol. However, Burnley ultimately brought in Martin Dúbravka instead.
