Espanyol stands firm as Arsenal's final deadline day bid for Garcia is rejected

Arsenal signed Neto on a season-long loan from Bournemouth just before the transfer deadline on Friday.

But that wasn't before they had a new €20m offer for Garcia rejected by Espanyol.

Espanyol coach Manolo Gonzalez had always said publicly that his goalkeeper would not leave for less than his €30m buyout clause.

Garcia had agreed personal terms with Arsenal, though sources insist he is happy to stay with the Pericos this season.
