Hi Koora: At a time when both Girona and the Italian Como are seeking to strengthen their ranks, Barcelona’s message regarding defender Eric Garcia is clear: the player will not leave during this period, but rather will remain in the team.
Eric Garcia (24 years old) is among the players who may contribute to Barcelona’s financial balance, especially in light of the club’s desire to strengthen its ranks in the winter transfer market.
The player who is considered part of the Catalan team’s strong defensive line, made up of big names such as Iñigo Martinez, Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, may find himself on the transfer table, but Barcelona values him highly.
Eric’s performance in Benfica’s matches showed his strength in defense and his ability to build attacks from the back, as well as his ability in the air, which makes him a player of high technical value.
-So it is no surprise that Girona, where he played on loan last season, and Italian side Como, led by Cesc Fabregas, are interested in bringing him back.
But Barcelona, which has Garcia’s contract until 2026, has no intention of letting him leave at the moment.
Interested clubs have not made offers that are considered ‘can’t refuse’, so the message is clear: Garcia will stay at Barcelona.
