Eric García would be the 'sacrificed' of FC Barcelona in the winter market. The Catalans would agree to transfer him for 10 million euros
FC Barcelona could find themselves at a crossroads in January. The good news came to Barcelona last Sunday with the return of Ronald Araújo to the first team, where he is a top-level 'reinforcement' for the defence of the team managed by Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen continues to recover from his left Achilles injury and his return is expected in the coming weeks, a situation that would create a dilemma at Can Barça. And with the returns of the Uruguayan and the Dane, the German coach would have five centre-backs in the first team.
Iñigo Martínez and Pau Cubarsí have established themselves as two undisputed players for Flick, forming one of the most solid duos in Europe. For his part, Araújo aims to have an important role in the German's project at the club and Christensen has made clear his position to continue wearing the Blaugrana shirt, leaving Eric García as the clear candidate to leave the club.
Barça puts a price on Eric's departure
This is reported by 'El Nacional.cat', where they assure that from the offices of the Spotify Camp Nou they would look favorably on the possibility of making money with the sale of the '24' in the winter transfer market. Injuries and his poor performance have prevented him from having continuity in this first half of the season, which is why the Catalans would seek to get rid of his contract and would agree to transfer him for 10 million euros.
The player, for his part, has a poster in LaLiga, where teams such as Real Sociedad, Girona and Real Betis would be willing to incorporate him into their ranks. In fact, the interest of the 'txuri-urdin' is concrete and they would launch an offensive for the centre-back in January, although it is most likely to be through a loan. An alternative that is not frowned upon by Barça, although they would prefer to make a profit from his transfer.
