Barcelona convinces its defender to stay for 5 more seasons!

FC Barcelona has reached an agreement with defender Eric García to extend his contract until the summer of 2030, according to reports from Spanish newspaper Sport. The player was initially tied to the club until 2026.This decision comes with the approval of coach Hansi Flick, who has been impressed by García’s tactical versatility—able to play both as a central defender and a defensive midfielder.Although García was previously rumored to be on the way out, his solid performances last season—45 matches played, 5 goals, and 3 assists—convinced the technical staff to keep him as part of the squad.
