Eric García was the central that chose the FC Barcelona in the past market of signings of summer. The group barcelonista did all the possible to close the incorporation of the Catalan, but the Manchester City was a hard negotiator. Although the defender finishes agreement in 2021 and does not think to renew, the English did not want to give him and finished refusing the proposals to the drop that arrived from Can Barça.

Finally, the international by Spain remained in Manchester, where will be at least until January of 2021. Then, it says that the culés could do another attempt by him because of the quantity of drops that there is in the centre of his defence. With Gerard Hammered lesionado until at least March, with the incógnita of the physicist of Samuel Umtiti, the low level of Clément Lenglet and the youth and inexperience of Ronald Araújo and Óscar Mingueza, another defender would be very necessary.

But the Barça is happening serious economic problems and so alone could attend to the market in case that they did box with some sale. Precisely by this enormous problem, the Barcelona could finish remaining without the 'cityzen', that has woken up the interest of another good team of Europe. SAnd would treat of the Arsenal, that as 'The Sun' is positioning in the career for doing with his services.

The picture 'gunner' wants to fichar to a central of future and the Spanish would fulfil with all the requirements of Mikel Arteta, his trainer. If the donostiarra was still in the bench of the londinenses in January, something that is for seeing because of the abysmal start of season of his team, the ones of the Emirates could try fichar to Eric already. This would be an important problem for the Barcelona, that explained at least with the security that in summer would have to the footballer.

García has a verbal commitment with the blaugrana from the past summer, but still has not signed at all. The intention of the Catalans is that firm a pre-agreement when it begin the next year, although this will depend of the president that win the elections. But in the middle of all the wrap goes to arise the Arsenal, that could be had to approach to the 20 million euros that asks the City to leave leave to the Barcelonan in January.

Eric García complicates for the Barça

The situation of the Barcelona in these moments is complicated, since there will be president until the last week of January. While, the 'gunners' will have free road to try convince to the young footballer that his best option is to play in the Emirates. Everything indicated that the incorporation of Eric went to be sew and sing for the Barça, but at the end could finish complicating seriously by fault of the irruption of the londinenses.
