Joan Garcia was born in Sallent de Llobregat, in the Bages region of Catalonia. After departing Sallent, he moved to Manresa and then to Damm, until Espanyol signed him at the young age of 15.
At Espanyol, he emerged a regular in the youth national teams of Spain from the U17 to the U21 level, and he has an Olympic gold medal from the 2024 Games in Paris, France.
Garcia is yet to receive a call-up to the Spain Senior National Team, however, there is a possibility of that happening now that he is a Barcelona player.
