Real Sociedad insists: preparing a new offensive for Eric García

Eric García has managed to turn his situation around at FC Barcelona. After a very complicated start to the season where injuries prevented him from getting many minutes, the player has found greater regularity since the beginning of the new year, establishing himself as a very valuable piece for Hansi Flick's scheme, who has shown his trust by giving him the starting position four times this past month.

In fact, it was the German himself who closed the door on his exit during the last winter transfer market, where Girona, Real Sociedad, and Como 1907 tried to incorporate him into their ranks and even reportedly offered up to 10 million euros for his signing. However, they received a negative response from the club and their coach, who was not willing to lose a versatile player who can act both as a center-back and as a pivot.

Real Sociedad will return for Eric García

Despite this, interest in Eric remains strong, especially from San Sebastián, where his name is noted at the top of their list of potential signings. This is reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', which states that the 'txuri-urdin' team is keeping an eye on him and preparing a new offensive to pursue his signing in the summer.

Imanol Alguacil understands that due to his style of play, quality, and age (23 years), García would be a luxury reinforcement for the upcoming season. The Guipuzcoan coach still feels the absence of Robin Le Normand, who left for Atlético de Madrid in the summer window, and although he has top-level players in central defense like Aguerd, Zubeldia, and Elustondo, he believes that the arrival of the '24' from Barcelona would give a definitive quality boost to the position.

The Real, for its part, intends to play on the defender's contractual situation to reach a favorable agreement. The player's current contract expires in 2026 and there are still no news about his renewal, so the 'txuri-urdin' entity believes it is a good time to make a beneficial offer for all parties involved. If an attractive offer arrives, Barça could consider his transfer, which would help free up salary mass and further ease the club's finances.
