According to recent information, Espanyol needs to agree to a transfer for Garcia worth at least 15 million euros before June 30 to help with their financial situation. This means that Garcia's release clause, currently set at €25 million, will increase to €30 million if he is called up by Spain for an international match or if he remains with Espanyol in the final 15 days of the transfer window.

Last summer, Arsenal made an offer to sign Garcia for €20 million, but it was rejected due to interest from Barcelona, who are on their way to winning La Liga this season and have secured Champions League qualification. Garcia now has a difficult decision to make as multiple top teams will likely make bids for his services in the coming weeks.
