"Soon after finalising the future of Frenkie de Jong, Barcelona have wasted no time trying to secure a contract for Eric Garcia. The former Man City starlet has been one of the most improved players at Barcelona under the leadership of Hansi Flick. This season, in particular, Garcia has emerged as a reliable option in defence, with Flick employing him as a right-back, a centre-back and even as a defensive midfielder."
"Recent reports have already indicated that Barcelona are in advanced talks to renew the contract of Garcia, which expires at the end of the season. Now, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has issued a fresh update on the future of Garcia, suggesting that the new deal, which will run for five years, will be signed as soon as next week. This could be a major boost for Barcelona fans who were getting anxious about the delay in Garcia's future."
"The anxiety crept in even more after the defender was linked with a move to PSG. But Barcelona never had any plans to let him leave. In fact, the Catalans see Garcia as a future captain and want to keep hold of his services for the foreseeable future. Keeping that in mind, the new deal is likely to result in a salary hike as well, given that Garcia was one of the lowest-paid players in the team."
Barcelona moved quickly to secure Eric Garcia after finalising Frenkie de Jong's future. Garcia has notably improved under Hansi Flick and has been deployed as right-back, centre-back and defensive midfielder. A five-year contract is expected to be signed as soon as next week, extending his expiring deal. The player was linked with PSG but Barcelona intend to keep him and view him as a potential future captain. The new contract should include a salary increase, boosting Garcia's confidence and helping him establish himself as a regular, especially while replacements for Inigo Martinez are lacking and Jules Kounde struggles for form.
