The Barça goalkeeper has left Sallent de Llobregat to live in one of the most well-known developments in the province. According to the report, the area is within walking distance of the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí.
After leaving Sallent de Llobregat, his hometown of around 7,000 inhabitants, goalkeeper Joan Garcia has decided to settle in Ciudad Diagonal, a development in Esplugues de Llobregat. The information, reported by El Nacional, states that the goalkeeper, who trained in the youth academies of Badalona and Damm, has completely changed his daily life in a short time.
His career began at RCD Espanyol, where he made his debut in La Liga, before signing for FC Barcelona. There, he earned the starting position and relegated Marc-André ter Stegen. With the national team, he was one of the 26 players called up by Luis de la Fuente for the World Cup.
The chosen neighbourhood reportedly hosts a large number of well-known individuals relative to its size. Among his neighbours are Lamine Yamal, the Muñoz brothers from Estopa, Shakira, Rosalía, Rauw Alejandro, and Manuel Orantes. Before the goalkeeper, other Barça players like Andrés Iniesta and Gerard Piqué also chose this area.
The location has a practical advantage for the player. The Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí is very close, so the daily commute to training is short. For the residents of Esplugues, the arrival of a footballer of this calibre adds another name to a development already well-known for its famous residents.
