"After nearly leaving the club a year ago, Eric Garcia has become an 'untouchable' for Hansi Flick's Barcelona and is viewed as a key part of the club's present and future. The 24-year-old homegrown star's versatility makes him valuable as he can fill in as a right-back, centre-back, and even as a defensive midfielder. Garcia's current contract expires in June 2026, prompting interest from reigning French and European champions Paris Saint-Germain."
"In a positive development, Mundo Deportivo reports that PSG have cooled their interest in Garcia, with Barcelona understood to be making progress in talks over his contract extension. Both parties are working on an extension of four or five years. The Spanish international favours reducing the length of the extension rather than adding an optional extra year, but he has made it clear that his priority is to remain at the Spotify Camp Nou."
Eric Garcia has re-established himself as an untouchable member of Barcelona under Hansi Flick after nearly leaving a year ago. The 24-year-old homegrown defender offers versatility across right-back, centre-back and defensive midfield roles. His contract runs until June 2026, attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain before Barcelona intensified renewal talks. Negotiations aim for a four- or five-year extension, with Garcia preferring a shorter guaranteed term rather than an extra optional year and prioritizing staying at the Spotify Camp Nou. PSG's reported interest has cooled, the club relationship has deterred other suitors, and both parties seek a final agreement before year-end.
