Girona accelerates to sign Barça's major discard this winter

Eric García has limited time left at FC Barcelona. The return of Ronald Araújo and the swift recovery of Andreas Christensen, who would return to the first team’s discipline in early 2025, creates an 'overbooking' situation in the center of defense and the academy player would be the 'sacrificed' one for the club to lighten the squad and gain salary margin.

Injuries and his unconvincing performance have doomed the return of the '24' Catalan to the ranks of Hansi Flick's team after being loaned to Girona last season. The duo Cubarsí-Iñigo Martínez is extremely solidified, and the emergence of Marc Casadó has left him without a place in the midfield, making his role minimal.

Girona wants Eric back

For this reason, from Can Barça, they have opened the exit door in the winter transfer market, and according to 'Relevo', it would be the 'gironins' themselves who would be most insisting on signing the defender, as Míchel is a great admirer of the player.

Last season, Eric played 31 matches wearing the jersey and left very good impressions, which is why the Catalan neighbors would try to finalize his return in January. The operation will depend on several factors, and clubs like Real Sociedad or Betis are also lurking, so nothing is defined yet. However, in Montilivi, they have the lead in the bidding, and as of today, García's future would be on the other side of Catalunya.
