The future of Eric García has become one of the most closely followed stories in the market. The Catalan center-back, a key piece in Hansi Flick's scheme at FC Barcelona, has not yet closed his renewal and the uncertainty is starting to generate pressure in the Barcelona offices.

Meanwhile, as reported by Sport, Paris Saint-Germain is closely monitoring the case. Coach Luis Enrique has expressly asked the Parisian club to pay close attention and be ready to go after the player if there is no agreement with Barça in the coming months.

PSG, waiting for a misstep

Luis Enrique knows Eric García perfectly. It was he who gave him responsibilities in the Spanish national team despite his youth, trusting in his reading of the game and ball-playing ability.
Therefore, he considers the defender a "market opportunity" if Barcelona does not hasten with his contract.

PSG is going through a rebuilding process, and the defense is one of the targeted areas. Bringing in a young defender with international experience and tactical versatility like Eric would be a strategic signing. Additionally, he would arrive for free if not renewed before June, aligning with the opportunistic policy that the French club has leveraged in recent years. The Parisian sporting direction has clear instructions: monitor the situation week by week and act once the player becomes free to negotiate from January.

Barça's slowness opens the door to doubt

At FC Barcelona, Eric García's priority has always been clear: to continue wearing the Blaugrana colors. The center-back has reiterated to his circle that he does not listen to other clubs. However, the club's passivity with a player that Flick has made an undisputed starter is surprising.

Barça wants to offer him a long contract, until 2030, but has not yet presented the definitive proposal. In the meantime, Deco and the sporting management have prioritized less urgent renewals, causing unrest in the player's environment.

That lack of real movement is what PSG is capitalizing on. They know that Eric García feels valued by Flick and that his projection at Camp Nou is ideal, but they also trust that the salary pressure from the Catalan club could complicate the negotiation.

Eric García is on PSG's agenda

Luis Enrique, a differential factor

Luis Enrique's role in this story is significant. The Asturian coach has shown absolute confidence in Eric García since he led him with the national team. His insistence that PSG remain attentive is a factor that could tip the balance if Barça does not react.

The player himself is aware of that esteem. He knows that in Paris, he would have a coach who believes in him and a club with resources to offer him a much more competitive contract than what Barça could propose in this economic context.

PSG's pressure is already a factor influencing the renewal. If Barça does not present a definitive offer before January, the Parisians will be ready to enter the scene forcefully.

The outcome will determine if Eric García continues to be one of the defensive pillars of FC Barcelona or if, on the contrary, Luis Enrique's PSG manages to take advantage of Barcelona's indecision to strengthen themselves with a present and future center-back.
