Barcelona defender set for potential move back to former club – report | OneFootball

Barcelona defender Eric Garcia is reportedly nearing a return to Girona, marking what could be his final days at the Catalan club, reports Fichajes.

It has been stated that after struggling to secure a regular spot in the first team under Hansi Flick, Garcia has been exploring alternative options for his future, and Girona seems like the most likely destination.

The move comes after a successful loan spell at Montilivi last season, where the defender made a positive impact. This potential return to Girona is gaining momentum and could become a reality in the coming days.

Limited opportunities at Barcelona

Garcia’s ability to play both in central defence and midfield has made him a versatile player, one that could benefit any team.

However, his opportunities at Barcelona have been limited due to the fierce competition for places, and he has found it difficult to break into the starting lineup.

This lack of consistent playing time has led Garcia to seriously consider a move away from the club, particularly to a team where he has already demonstrated his ability and found regular minutes on the pitch.

Girona want him

At Girona, head coach Michel has shown interest in bringing Garcia back to the club. During his loan spell, the young defender impressed with his solid performances in defence and his skill in building play from the back.

With Girona striving to maintain their strong position in La Liga, adding Garcia to their squad would be a wise move to strengthen their team for the second half of the season.

His potential return to Girona is shaping up to be one of the most notable moves of the winter transfer window, especially for Barcelona.

Both the player and the club appear to be in agreement about the move, and now it is just a matter of finalising the details between Barcelona and Girona.
