A new course for the Catalan central
FC Barcelona is immersed in an operation of great importance that can transform its defensive panorama. Eric García, one of their centre-backs, has been in the spotlight of Girona, a club that is looking to strengthen its squad in this final stretch of the transfer market.
Strategic decisions of Barca
Deco, the sports director of Barça, has taken the initiative to facilitate the sale of García for an amount of around 15 million euros. The approval of coach Hansi Flick has been essential for this transaction, reflecting a clear intention to restructure the team.
The evolution of García within the club
The pre-season has been a difficult period for the Catalan defender. He has not managed to gain the trust of Flick, who has opted for other players such as Iñigo Martínez or Cubarsí to occupy the defensive line. This situation has led García to reconsider his future.
Girona: an attractive destination
Girona have been very active during this transfer market, and García is presented as a key piece for their defensive system. With a total of ten new additions, the club is looking to strengthen itself further and the addition of García is one of its main targets, with talks progressing at a good pace.
A challenge for García
The player, despite his affirmations of commitment to Barça, seems more and more ready to accept Girona’s offer. The promise of playing a fundamental role under coach Míchel and the prospect of a new start motivate him to take this step.
An imminent operation
The figure of 15 million euros that Deco has established for the sale of García is well received by Girona, who are preparing to welcome the defender. Flick’s decision to release García may not only ease Barça’s financial burden, but also provide the player with the opportunity to continue his growth in a new environment.
Future perspectives
With the imminent departure of Eric García, Barça faces a new chapter in its squad dynamics. While his absence will leave a void, it also opens the door to new options that could transform their strategy for the season. Girona, on the other hand, is looking forward to the arrival of a player who could make a difference in their campaign in LaLiga.
