Barcelona defender Eric García is reportedly on the verge of returning to Girona, marking what could be his final days at the Catalan club, reports Fichajes.
It has been said that after struggling to secure a regular first-team place under Hansi Flick, Garcia has been exploring alternative options for his future, with Girona looking the most likely destination.
The move comes after a successful loan spell at Montilivi last season, where the defender made a positive impact. This potential return to Girona is gaining momentum and could become a reality in the coming days.
Limited opportunities in Barcelona
García’s ability to play in both central defense and midfield has made him a versatile player, who could benefit any team.
However, his opportunities at Barcelona have been limited due to fierce competition for places, and he has found it difficult to break into the starting lineup.
This lack of consistent playing time has led García to seriously consider moving away from the club, particularly to a team where he has already demonstrated his ability and found regular minutes on the field.
Girona wants him
At Girona, coach Míchel has shown interest in bringing García back to the club. During his loan, the young defender impressed with his solid defensive performances and his ability to build play from the back.
As Girona strives to maintain its strong position in La Liga, adding García to its team would be a wise move to strengthen its team heading into the second half of the season.
His possible return to Girona is emerging as one of the most notable movements of the winter transfer market, especially for Barcelona.
Both the player and the club seem to agree on the transfer and now all that remains is to finalize the details between Barcelona and Girona.
