This Thursday, during the previous press conference to the party of turn of the eighth of final of the Champions League that will play in the Etihad Stadium between the Real Madrid and the Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, trainer of the picture 'cityzen', has soltado a bomb. "To Eric García remains him a year of agreement with us, but already has said us that it does not want to renew. So we suppose that it will want to play in another place", ensured.
The news supposes an authentic vase of cold water for the Manchester City, that considered to Eric García a fundamental piece for the future, and an oxygen cylinder for the FC Barcelona, that has in the Catalan defender an aim prioritario to reinforce his defence. It is necessary to remember that the footballer has agreement with the English team until 2021, something that forces to the 'cityzens' to sell him this same summer if they do not want to see how goes free.
Several media of Catalan field ensure that the Manchester City has opened definitively the door to Eric García so that it leave in the present window of traspasos and, in fact, ensure that the British entity already has fixed him price of exit, that would be very similar to the that the English team has paid by Ferrán Torres, player that was in identical contractual situation with Valencia and that finish to sign by the team of Pep Guardiola.
The Manchester City has had to credit him to Valencia 23 million fixed euros more other 35 in variables and by here would go the shots with Eric García. According to the informations desveladas by several sectors of the Catalan press, the Manchester City would ask a figure between 20 and 23 'kilos' by the sale of the young defence, although it also could ask a variable compensation like sucedió with Ferrán Torres.
Now it would touch him to the FC Barcelona decide. The Catalan group is in a complicated financial situation by fault of the coronavirus, but at the same time knows that it needs to reinforce a defence very mermada and short of effective owing to the constant injuries of Samuel Umtiti. The Manchester City already has put the letters on the table and Eric García wishes to go back, by what now the culés have to decide if they go already to by him or if they expect a season to opt to carry it to cost zero.
Eric García, a reinforcement of luxury
In spite of his youth, Eric García is one of these central that seems that it carry a decade playing in the elite. His tranquility, his technical quality, his tactical perception and his solidity turn him into a big option to reinforce the defence. In the FC Barcelona would fit to perfection by style and, besides, could have prominence from the first moment, because of his qualities that allow him play so much in the saga as in the centre of the field, like mediocentro defensive.
