Barcelona puts Eric García up for sale: 3 clubs interested in signing him

Barcelona seems determined to sell Eric García in the upcoming winter transfer market, with Real Sociedad, Girona, and Betis as potential destinations interested in his signing. The Catalan club, needing to ease its wage bill and balance its accounts to be able to register all its players, sees the transfer of the 24-year-old defender as an opportunity to meet its financial and sporting goals.

García, who has been used by Hansi Flick at specific moments, could see his minutes reduced in the second half of the season. The return of key defensive figures like Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo poses a challenging situation for the defender, who has taken on a secondary role following the consolidation of Pau Cubarsi and Íñigo Martínez in the defensive scheme. Faced with this situation, teams like Real Sociedad are looking to strengthen their defensive line and have set their sights on the Catalan defender, valued for his experience in La Liga and playing style.

On the other hand, Girona, where García played on loan, maintains an interest in a possible reintegration of the player. His outstanding performance under Michel Sánchez's guidance makes him an attractive option for the club, which aims to extend the bond with a player familiar with their system. Additionally, Betis is also considering the possibility of adding García to their squad, in an attempt to strengthen their defense.

With a contract until 2026, García could receive more offers on the market, opening the door to a competitive bid between Spanish clubs and those from the Premier League. The potential sale of the center-back in January appears increasingly feasible for Barça, which faces the need to make adjustments to ensure the registration of players like Dani Olmo and meet the financial demands of La Liga.
