Girona is getting closer to securing the final signing of Eric García, a player who has proven his worth in Míchel's scheme. According to sources from SER Catalunya, the transfer, valued at 10 million euros, depends on FC Barcelona successfully finalizing the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. This move, which has been in the works since last summer, could ultimately be defined in the coming weeks.
Eric García had a successful loan spell at Girona last season, earning the respect of the coaching staff and the fans. However, Barça's coach, Hansi Flick, decided to keep him in the team due to injuries affecting players like Andreas Christensen and Frenkie de Jong, as well as the departure of Oriol Romeu. Although Eric is a natural center-back, Flick has chosen to deploy him as a midfielder on several occasions, with varying results.
He has no place in defense now that key players have returned from injury
The return of starting defenders like Christensen and Ronald Araújo seems to limit Eric García's opportunities to play minutes at Barça. On the other hand, Míchel has not hidden his interest in having the player back, considering him an essential piece for Girona. The center-back has reportedly given his approval to return to the Catalan club.
Everything is now in Barcelona's hands, as they need to finalize the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor to free up space in their squad and wage bill. If this happens, Eric García will conclude his time at Camp Nou to return to Montilivi, where Girona awaits him as a cornerstone of their project.
