The future of Eric García has been the subject of intense speculation. Despite the noticeable interest from Girona in the young defender from FC Barcelona, the Catalan club's management has decided to keep him in their ranks, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. This stance is in line with FC Barcelona's strategy to avoid any weakening of their squad at this crucial point in the season.
Girona's coach, Míchel, has publicly expressed his admiration for García, who delivered a standout performance during his loan spell at Montilivi. The interest from Girona has been persistent, with the Catalan club engaging in talks to bring the player to Catalan lands. However, it has been made clear from within FC Barcelona that the priority is to maintain the current team structure.
Flick requested Eric García's continuity
The sports director Deco and coach Xavi Flick have been operating on the assumption that a return to the 1:1 norm will not materialize. The recent bid for Jonathan Tah, a defender from Bayer Leverkusen, underscores the need to retain García, whose versatility is crucial in covering defensive absences, including that of Marc Bernal.
In particular, Flick has vehemently opposed García's departure, arguing that selling him would further weaken the team at a time when each player is crucial. Thus, FC Barcelona has decided that the defender will remain at the club, reaffirming its commitment to squad stability and its objectives for the season.
