The centre-back, gold medallist at the Paris Olympics with the Spanish national team, has confirmed that his departure is completely ruled out and that he will play for Barça this season
With the arrival of Hansi Flick to the bench of FC Barcelona, some of the players discarded last season will have a new opportunity. This is the case of Eric García, who confirmed this Friday on RAC 1 that he will continue in the first team of the Blaugrana.
The centre-back was loaned to Girona last season, but his great performance in the Olympic tournament, forming a partnership with Pau Cubarsí, seems to have convinced Hansi Flick. The player has explained that he has held talks with the German coach, who has given him his full confidence. According to the Catalan press, Hansi Flick has made it clear to the sports management that he does not contemplate his departure and that, if necessary, the sale of Mika Faye, Clément Lenglet or Iñigo Martínez will be a priority.
His versatility to play in various positions (he can be a centre-back, right-back and central midfielder) and his ability to build play from the back line make him a tactically valuable player. In addition, with Hansi Flick the player starts from scratch and will have a new opportunity to show that he has Barça level.
