FC Barcelona is facing a decisive week leading up to the closing of the transfer market. With an urgent need to reinforce their squad in the positions of left winger and right back, the Blaugrana club must free up salary mass to allow the arrival of new players. In this situation, as reported by the Sport newspaper, Barça's board is forced to consider the departure of one of their center-backs, with Andreas Christensen and Eric García being the main candidates.
Andreas Christensen:
In recent days, the rumors have mainly revolved around Christensen. The Danish defender, who arrived at Barcelona as a promise to strengthen the defense, has not been a guaranteed starter in all matches, raising uncertainty about his future at the club. Despite his initial desire to stay at Barça, the possibility of an exit has intensified. With a contract until 2026, the club would be willing to negotiate his transfer if an offer meeting their economic expectations, set at a minimum of 25 million euros, arises. Several Premier League teams like Tottenham and Manchester United are monitoring the center-back's situation.
Eric García:
On the other hand, Eric García's case is different. Although the Spanish player returned to Barcelona with the intention of consolidating himself, the competition in the center-back positions is fierce. Araujo, Íñigo Martínez, and the potential relocation of Koundé leave Eric with few playing opportunities. Despite Girona showing interest in signing him, the decision about his future remains uncertain. Barça would prefer a permanent transfer over a loan, which would enable the club to generate some income and ease the salary pressure.
In the coming days, Barça will have to decide which of the two center-backs will leave the club, a choice that could have a significant impact on the defensive structure of the team for the season ahead.
