Eric García is making merits with Girona to return to FC Barcelona in the summer. The center-back has earned the starting position with Míchel's team based on good performances, but he will hardly have a place at Barça in 2024
The FC Barcelona will receive the Sunday to the Girona in which it will be a very special party for Eric García. The Catalan left yielded to the group 'albirrojo' on the end of the last market knowingly of the few opportunities to play that would have this season with the ones of Xavi Hernández, although the egarense had he like spare. In the beginning of LaLiga, the one of Martorell is already one of the fixed of Míchel and will arrive to Monjuïc with the mission of 'dry' to his ex mates to keep the leadership.
In what it goes of season, Eric has contested a total of 12 parties (918 minutes) in which it adds 1 goal (in front of the Villarreal) and a pair of cautions. The defender of 22 years has seen very comfortable in the diagram of the Madrilenian trainer and, the past week, even tested luck like right side, fulfilling of remarkable form in a place in which Xavi also put him in some opportunity during the 22/23.
The Barça does not have place for Eric García in 2024
However, although his cession does not include option of compulsory purchase, his options to remain in Barcelona in 2024 are, to these heights, very scarce. With Iñigo Martínez and Andreas Christensen, the culés have to two head offices with quality and sufficient experience to armour a saga that has to Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé like fixed, in addition to the alternative of Marcos Alonso for eventual emergencies.
So much the 'charrúa' as the Frenchman have alternated, with remarkable performances, the place of head office with the one of right side. Thus, to return to the Barça, Eric would be the fifth head office of the team, although the ex defender of the Manchester City also has showed his capacity to play like defensive pivote in some opportunity. From here that the Barça see more feasible the do box with the one of Martorell, by which the club expects that it keep his ascending level with the Girona, excepting the party of the Sunday.
Eric García will not have restrictions to play in front of the Barça the Sunday
Unlike Pablo Tower, the central will be able to be of the game the Sunday in Montjuïc due to the fact that his cession did not include the designated 'clause of the fear'. Eric left to the Girona on the end of the market estival and, for no entorpecer a very necessary operation for the interests culés, the Barça preferred to remove a clause that Mateu Alemany kept in the majority of cessions that closed in the last years. Without the Balearic executive in the club, the Barcelona directive opted for overlooking is clause that yes kept, for example, the loan of Ez Abde to the Betis.
