A new suitor emerges for the Barcelona star valued at 18 million euros who is struggling to get minutes

With less than two weeks to go before the winter transfer market closes, it is possible that there will be some activity at FC Barcelona in the coming days.

With the blaugrana eager to bring in Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United, they need to sanction an exit sooner rather than later and Eric Garcia appears to be a candidate to be sacked.

As its coach and sports director has already confirmed, Girona is eager to re-sign García, after having had him on loan at the club during the last season.

Real Sociedad enters the race for Eric García

However, another La Liga club has thrown its hat into the ring for the signing of Eric García, with SPORT reporting that Real Sociedad are also interested in the versatile 24-year-old star.

In fact, the Basque club are understood to be showing great interest in signing García, and their coach, Imanol Alguacil, is said to be a big admirer of the player, especially his versatility.

While there has always been talk of the former Manchester City star returning to Girona after last season’s successful loan spell, Sociedad have now become serious contenders for his signature.

García could be willing to leave

Garcia has largely wanted to stay in Barcelona, ​​but lately things seem to be changing regarding his stance.

After all, he has found it extremely difficult to get minutes, having played just 16 times (664 minutes) this season, and only six of those were starts.

The situation is unlikely to get any easier for Garcia now that Ronald Araujo remains at Barca and Andreas Christensen has also returned from injury. Meanwhile, Íñigo Martínez is also expected to return in three weeks.

Therefore, it would not be a surprise if the 24-year-old is willing to leave, even if coach Hansi Flick is against it.

It remains to be seen how the situation evolves in the coming days when there is not much time left for the transfer market.
