Barcelona defender Eric García is unlikely to leave the team during the January transfer window, a report from SPORT reveals. Interestingly, however, the chances of him leaving in the summer appear to be significantly higher.
Despite limited playing time and fierce competition for his place, Garcia is determined to remain at the club for now, but the situation could change as the season nears its end.
It should be noted that the defender was one of the most speculated names during the recent transfer market. Last summer, he aroused great interest from several clubs, including Girona, FC Porto and even English teams like Newcastle.
However, Barcelona decided to keep him, believing he could still contribute to the team. Now, he is focused on proving his worth and proving his usefulness to the coach, as he already did in the match against Leganés.
More competition
Looking ahead, January could bring even more competition for Garcia. With Ronald Araujo now fully fit and Andreas Christensen also back, the battle for defensive positions will intensify.
Despite these challenges, García’s versatility works in his favor. In addition to his primary role as a centre-back, he is capable of occupying a central midfield position, offering Barcelona tactical flexibility.
This adaptability is something that coach Hansi Flick highly values, especially considering the demanding schedule ahead. The club, on the other hand, appears to be keeping an open mind to future offers for García.
While they have rejected several offers in the past, there is a growing belief that they could reconsider their stance in the summer, particularly if lucrative offers from Premier League sides resurface.
For now, Garcia’s focus remains on improving his game and solidifying his place on the team. With the competition heating up, he is fully committed to helping Barcelona achieve their goals this season while continuing to prove his worth on the pitch.
