Barcelona star tipped for January Girona switch | OneFootball

Barcelona star Eric García has this weekend been tipped for an imminent departure from the club.

Eric has for his part of course found game-time altogether difficult to come by in Catalunya’s capital over the course of recent weeks.

Despite having fully recovered from a niggling groin injury, the former Manchester City man has been afforded just ten minutes on the pitch since early-October.

As much comes amid an intense battle for places in both Barcelona’s backline, and at the base of Hansi Flick’s midfield.

With Jonathan Tah’s signing being lined up for next season, too, Eric is therefore considered as increasingly surplus to requirements by those behind the scenes at the Camp Nou.

And, if the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, then such a transfer could be forthcoming as soon as January.

As per a report from Relevo:

‘Eric García is a possible immediate exit in January. I am told that the team most interested at the moment is Girona, a club with which Eric already played 31 times in the 2023/24 season.’
