"Eric Garcia has become a key player for Hansi Flick at FC Barcelona. After a difficult start last season following his loan spell at Girona, the defender has earned his place in the starting eleven, with his versatility highly valued by the German coach. Garcia's contract expires next year, and Barcelona are currently negotiating a renewal for the player, with an agreement until 2030, expected to be finalised soon."
"According to reports in England, as relayed by SPORT, several clubs showed interest in Garcia over the summer - notably Chelsea and Tottenham, who explored his signing but ultimately gave up after learning of his desire to continue at Barça. Garcia's contract situation, coupled with his versatility and experience in the Premier League, made him an attractive target for the two London clubs."
"Although the renewal is not yet finalised, negotiations are progressing well, and as Garcia explained in a recent interview, his only wish is to remain at Barcelona. "There are talks going on, and hopefully they will come to fruition as soon as possible," stated the versatile defender. The confidence shown in him by Flick was decisive, especially when Girona once again tried to bring him back in January earlier this year."
