Eric García has become the top target of Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United for the upcoming transfer windows. The Barcelona player could be close to returning to England.

According to sources close to the British market, the FC Barcelona board prefers to retain the Spanish international but will only negotiate his transfer with English clubs if the formal offers reach a fixed amount between 50 and 55 million euros, including bonuses and a future sale clause.

FC Barcelona's Strength against Premier League Interest

The contract signed by the center-back in December 2025 guarantees his continuity at the Blaugrana entity until June 30, 2031. This extension for 5 additional seasons positions the noble headquarters of Spotify Camp Nou in a strong position to refer to those 50 million euros as the minimum negotiation amount with the English representatives.

The 25-year-old homegrown player reached 150 official matches with FC Barcelona in February 2026, cementing his place in the squad for his versatility to play as a central defender, right-back, and central midfielder. This versatility led the club not to sign another defender in the summer after rejecting an 8-million-euro proposal sent to Twente for Ruud Nijstad.

Economic Demands on Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United

Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United are seeking a left and right-sided defensive profile with clean ball distribution to compete in the Premier League. However, the Barcelona board does not need to urgently sell the player since his contract is not expiring soon, and the coaching staff considers him a key rotation piece alongside Andreas Christensen and Gerard Martín.

Therefore, FC Barcelona’s technical department has made it clear to the three British clubs that they will not accept loan deals or amounts below 50 million euros. The Catalan club demands immediate payment guarantees or a few installment payments to authorize the player’s move to England during the 2026-2027 season.

Eric García's Fit in English Football

The management of the three Premier League teams has the financial muscle to meet the economic demands set by Catalonia. However, the player's final destination will depend on the sporting project and the guaranteed playing time offered in the English top flight.

For his part, the center-back has not expressed his intention to leave Spain in the short term. The player values the continuity and trust granted with his long-term renewal before making a professional decision.

Representatives from Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United plan to visit Catalonia during October and November 2026. The three English entities will meet with Eric García's agents in December to determine which club will present the formal proposal of 50 million euros to FC Barcelona before the opening of the winter transfer market on January 1, 2027.
