Eric Garcia is one of manyBarcelonaplayers facing an uncertain future at the club. As theBlaugranalook to trim the squad and reduce the salary mass, there could be multiple players bidding farewell this summer.
Unsurprisingly, Garcia is among those players, having failed to live up to expectations since rejoining the club from Manchester City in 2021. He has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular, falling behind Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and Jules Kounde in the pecking order.
This has led to speculations over his future, withBarcelonaɾєρօɾτedlyready to offload the defєɴԀer ahead of the new season. ɾєρօɾτs say they are ready to accept a loan Ԁєɑł for Garcia, though they are iԀєɑłly looking to sell the player for a fee of around €10 million.
However, according toMARCA, Garcia is not bothered about such speculations. He does not have any intention to leaveBarcelonathis summer and wants to fight for his place in the first-team next season.
The ɾєρօɾτ also points out howBarcelona are yet to convey their desire to sell Garciawhile coach Xavi Hernandez has always admired the defєɴԀer for his professional behaviour and versatility, especially with the player being able to operate as a makeshift defensive midfielder.
It could prove to be handy asBarcelonalook to Ԁєɑł with the departure of Sergio Busquets this summer. Xavi hailed Garcia publicly multiple times this past season, and the player himself remains keen on proving himself at the club.
However, this does not guarantee Garcia’s stay. Considering the fact thatBarcelonaare desperately looking to offload some of the first-team stars, the club may have no option but to offload the former Man City starlet, especially if they fail to find a proper suitor for Ferran Torres and Franck Kessie this summer.
