FC Barcelona must decide what to do with Eric García for next season: whether to keep him and give him a place in the squad or, instead, look for an exit through a transfer due to his great recent performance

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The future of Eric García in the FC Barcelona begins to discern with greater clarity. The native of Martorell turned into one of the big stars in the surprising Girona of Michel Sánchez and company, positioning as the big 'leader' of the combined gerundense and the man of confidence of the Madrilenian trainer to initiate the exit of balloon from the background line. In front of this, already has guaranteeed, at least, a positive reception in the City Condal after his return to the Barcelona cast from the next 30 June, when it culminate his period of loan in the club 'Gironí'.

This is not alone palabrería, since the defender is having a season 2023-24 stellar in the Girona, adding 29 meetings contested and a total of three annotations. Under this premise, seems to have the seen well of Xavi Hernández, the one who recently expressed his wishes to have the Catalan player for the next season, leaving clear the reason of his precipitated split the past summer. "It did not leave by mine decision, but by a subject of fair play financial", limited the egarense.

With this in mind, and considering that to Eric García likes him the idea to go back to dress the T-shirt of the FC Barcelona, as it expressed recently in a statement, in which it manifested his perspective on his return to the Barça and his wish to triumph like player of the club because of his affinity with the barcelonismo, seems that the conditions are given for his return.

The 'beautiful problem' that will have the FC Barcelona after the return of Eric García to the club

However, it is important to consider some appearances ineludibles in the operation of Eric García. The first, of course, is the 'overbooking' of players in the position of central defence in the Catalan picture, with until five names: Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Pau Cubarsí, Andreas Christensen and Iñigo Martínez, in addition to the possible incorporation of Chadi Riad, the one who could be 'repescado' of the Real Betis, and the promotion of Mika Faye, the one who already is asking minutes in the first team.

Nevertheless, it is possible that this situation clear during the market of summer, since it still does not know which sucederá with the future of the charrúa and the French, key players in the defence culé, but by which the club could consider an offer the sufficiently tempting. Equally, it is true that varied of these defenders mentioned previously can exert different roles, as Christensen, the one who is standing out like pivote, or Koundé, the one who has been used like right side, what could open space for more 'escuderos'.

Likewise, it is worthwhile to stand out that the incorporation of Eric García to the team would contribute versatility, andto that has showed to be able to exert like right side and even like pivote, which would be beneficial for the FC Barcelona, that would have an useful player in several positions. However, everything will depend on how can fit to Eric in the 'fair play' of the team and, of course, if it arrives an offer the sufficiently interesting as to leave it go of definite way.
