Eric García, a 23-year-old Spanish center-back, could be living his last months as a player for Barcelona. Despite having played in nine matches at the start of this season with the Blaugrana, the return of several injured players threatens to drastically reduce his role in the team. Faced with this situation, the option of returning to Girona, where he was on loan last season, is gaining strength. The defender left an excellent impression during his time at Montilivi, becoming a key player in the defense and winning the affection of the fans.

Eric García could return to Girona

During his loan spell at Girona, García regained his form after several years of inconsistent progression. His ability to lead the defense, along with his good ball distribution, fit perfectly into coach Míchel's system, allowing the Catalan team to aim for ambitious goals. Now, with the possibility of returning, the defender could resume a leading role at a club where he already proved his worth, which could be key to consolidating his career.

However, circumstances have changed at Barcelona. Hansi Flick, the coach of the Blaugrana, has a squad where the injured players are returning to training. This, combined with high competition in defense and midfield, casts uncertainty on Eric's future at Camp Nou. Although he has been a reliable option at times this season, the reality is that the young center-back could be relegated to a secondary role if all defenders return to their best.

With the transfer market around the corner, the possibility of a permanent transfer to Girona is on the table. At Montilivi, Eric García would have the opportunity to be a defensive reference, something that seems challenging at Barcelona with the return of Flick's first-choice players.
