With just one week left until the end of the summer transfer window, FC Barcelona is speeding up its plan for departures. The club has already greenlit the exits of Ilkay Gündogan, Vitor Roque, and Mika Faye, and is now focusing on the situation of Eric García. Although it initially seemed that the defender would stay with the team, the board has decided to set a price for his permanent transfer.

Interest in Eric García has quickly emerged, with Girona leading the pack. The Catalan club, which already enjoyed his services last season on loan, has expressed its wish to keep the 23-year-old center-back permanently in their squad. As reported by the newspaper Sport, FC Barcelona has set a price of 15 million euros to let the defender go.

Last season, Eric García excelled under Míchel at Girona, becoming the highest-scoring defender in LaLiga. This performance has led Girona to pursue his definitive signing, believing that García will be a key component in their defense. Although the player recently expressed his desire to stay at Barcelona, he does not rule out a return to Girona, where he would be guaranteed more playing time.

Competition leaves him without a spot at Camp Nou

In Barcelona, the competition is fierce. Eric García would have to compete for a place with players like Pau Cubarsi, Íñigo Martínez, Ronald Araújo (once recovered from his injury), and Andreas Christensen. Given this scenario, the Blaugrana club sees a potential sale with favor, especially considering that Eric García arrived for free from Manchester City, turning those 15 million euros into a net profit for the club.

The fate of Eric García could be sealed in the coming days, and all signs point to Girona being the top candidate to secure his services permanently. With this move, the player indeed achieves what he wanted as he will have significantly more playing time and importance for Míchel at Girona.
