The La Liga team is adamant about the demand for a trade to Arsenal.


Despite Arsenal's renewed interest in acquiring goalkeeper Joan Garcia, Espanyol will not reduce their asking price.

For more than a year, the Gunners have been pursuing Garcia as the Premier League team searches for a seasoned backup to David Raya.

Despite Espanyol's impending relegation struggle, Garcia may be less inclined to make a trade if Raya is the clear No. 1 at the Emirates Stadium.

The ball is now back in Arsenal's court because Espanyol will not take anything less than Garcia's entire €25 million release clause, according to Daily Mirror reports.

Garcia is the favored option, and it is unlikely that Brazil veteran Neto will turn his current loan deal into a permanent one in 2025.

Espanyol will benefit from a longer winter break as they have already been eliminated from the Copa del Rey. On January 11, they will visit Leganes as part of their La Liga comeback.

With one point separating them from safety, the Catalans are now ranked 18th in the table.

The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own.

Real Madrid, of course, made their return to play recently, hosting Getafe in the Spanish capital for a La Liga match.
