FC Barcelona is one step away from closing one of the most important deals of the season. The Blaugrana sporting director, Deco, has publicly confirmed that the renewal of Eric García is practically agreed upon and only "final details" remain to make it official.

The 24-year-old center-back from Martorell has become an indispensable player for Hansi Flick, capable of performing solidly in different positions. With a contract until June, and one of the lowest salaries in the first team, the club considers his continuity a priority and is working to sign a long-term agreement.

Deco considers Eric García's renewal a done deal

In an interview with Cadena SER, Deco confirmed what had been suspected for weeks: Barça and the player have practically finalized the new contract

"Eric García will renew his contract with Barça. Only a few details remain, but we have everything agreed," Deco stated.

The player himself had already expressed his confidence in reaching an agreement in October. His sporting growth, his versatility, and his consistency have reinforced the internal conviction that he must be one of the pillars of the Barça defense in the long-term project.

Eric García: An indispensable player for Hansi Flick

Eric García has taken a leap in maturity and reliability in recent matches. Flick considers him a structural player for both defending in his own half and initiating offensive build-up in the first few meters. His ability to read the game, anticipate, and correct has made him one of the German coach's undisputed players.

In fact, recent team data shows more stable defensive performance when Eric García is on the field, as well as an improvement in ball circulation from the back. His renewal fits with the club's strategy of consolidating a young, competitive core that will be sustained over time.

Despite PSG having closely followed his contractual situation, the footballer's inner circle has always made it clear that his intention was to continue at the club where he was developed. The player feels that his current stage with the team is the most solid since his return and he is fully identified with Flick's project.

With his renewal, Barça resolves one of the four contracts expiring in June that were on the sporting agenda. The other three pending cases are those of Andreas Christensen, Robert Lewandowski, and Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United with a purchase option
