Eric García’s future at Barcelona is currently surrounded by uncertainty. While his presence offers vital depth to the team, there are growing rumors of interest from other clubs, particularly Girona, who see him as a valuable asset.
Girona have reportedly expressed interest in loaning or permanently transferring the defender, with a potential fee of around €10m being discussed.
Despite continued speculation about his future, García has continued to show dedication and commitment on the field. This was evident in his performance against Barbastro, where he scored the first goal in a dominant 4-0 victory.
That goal marked his first of the season and came in his sixth start of the 14 appearances he has made this campaign. His contribution in the cup competition adds to the growing list of important moments he has provided for Barcelona.
A special goal
García’s header in this match was not only significant for the goal itself but also for its style. His header was precise and reminiscent of his performances last season with Girona, where he scored five goals, all with his head.
These goals came in La Liga and included matches against teams such as Granada, Cádiz, Alavés, Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal. This means that each of his last six goals were scored with a header.
His heading ability played a key role in securing vital points for Girona, contributing to three wins and one draw. The only game in which his header did not score points was against Athletic Bilbao.
In addition to his contributions with Girona, García also scored for Barcelona last season, scoring a goal against Sevilla away from home in the 2022-2023 campaign. Curiously, that goal came with his right foot, demonstrating his versatility as a defender.
As the transfer window progresses, Barcelona must carefully consider Girona’s offer and evaluate whether selling García for €10 million is the right decision.
His performances on the field continue to prove his worth, but the club’s financial situation and opportunity to make a profit may ultimately dictate its future.
