Barcelona defender Eric Garcia was perhaps the player who came closest to leaving the club in the January transfer window, with an interest of a number of clubs. The 24-year-old Koos, however, to stay as part of the Hansi Flick side and has since seen a good playing time.
Garcia was interested in people like Real Sociedad, Girona or Como in the series, with the last two who were willing to put € 7 million on the table for the Spain International. However, Flick, however, stepped in to stop the exit and the feeling that he could be useful in both defense and in midfield between now and the end of the season. He has now started in four of their last five games.
With less than 18 months left on his contract, his future is a different matter after the summer, as sports director Deco made it clear.
“I repeat. Every player has his own story and his own contract. Eric is a player who grew a lot at Girona last season. The Eric who wanted the clubs this season is not the Eric who left here a year earlier. He is he is A much more completed player, he has a lot of self -confidence, he is an Olympic champion. think we should go little by little. “
“In a season there are moments, sometimes a player feels appreciated and other times, not. Now he is in a good time, but we don't know if he will continue. I think so because I think he has the capacity to reach a large level and then he has to continue at Barca. Once this is over, he is definitely a player we want to count, but I don't think it's time, “Deco told sports.
Garcia is one of a number of central defenders with an uncertain future, such as Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo also leave. Likewise, Barcelona is said to have been in conversation with Jonathan Tah to sign the German for free this summer. The future of Garcia is likely to depend on the kind of role he wants, and the circumstances with Christensen and Arajo.
