Eric García will not be player of the FC Barcelona in this wintry market, definitively. This Tuesday, the Managing Commission that carries the reins of the club has gathered with the three presidential candidates of the club, Joan Laporta, Víctor Font and Toni Freixa, to treat the subject of the signing of the central of the Manchester City and have arrived to the conceso that his incorporation to the Barcelona changing room will remain for the month of June, when it will arrive totally free.

The defender 'citizen' continue being the main aim of the Barça and the leaders understand that it is necessary to reinforce the defensive saga, but in this moment the club is not in conditions to pay the five or six million euros that will ask the Manchester City for his traspaso and that, by the contrary, is preferable to expect until the summer so that it return to the Camp Nou. This yes, the culés will look for 'tie it' before they advance other teams, like the Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal.

The Managing Commission, chaired by Carles Tusquets, is clear regarding the situation of Eric García. It understands that, by prudence, did not want to have an extra cost before the presidential elections and that, if finally the decision finished being the one of the incorporation of the central in January, it was necessary to put to a player of the current staff in the market and, with terms so short, was practically impossible to carry out the operation.

It is necessary to remember that, in addition to the delicate economic situation by which crosses the club, the mass salarial is to the limit and, to include to a new player, the FC Barcelona can confront to a sanction by part of the UEFA by Fair Play Financial, by what the most logical will be to expect to the end of the campaign, when they also will have gone out of the Camp Nou.

Two of the candidates, in accordance with the decision

Joan Laporta has been the candidate that more against was to go out to the market by the signing of Eric, although it recognises that it would be a very important player for the FC Barcelona. The ex president culé entiente that there is not need to spend money 'unnecessarily' when in few months can arrive entirely free. Toni Freixa also would be on the same line that Laporta.

However, Víctor Font has been the one who more insistent has showed with the traspaso of the Catalan player, alleging that the picture directed by Ronald Koeman has many fail in the defensive saga and that it could be an ideal option to continue in the fight by the titles in this course. At the end, it has finished 'yielding'.
