Surprising Turn: Eric García, close to an unexpected destination this January

The future of Eric García could take a completely unexpected turn. When it seemed that, if he were to leave FC Barcelona this winter market, the player would return to Girona, Como 1907 led by Cesc Fàbregas has reportedly made a strong entrance into negotiations for the defender and they are willing to make a significant effort to sign him.

As reported by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Italian club would have made an initial offer close to 10 million euros to try to 'bring home the bacon'. This amount, which coincides with the offer made by the albirrojos, is considered insufficient by the culés, so the transalpines will need to increase their proposal.

Eric has his priority clear

Eric, for his part, would prioritize returning to Montilivi in case he leaves Spotify Camp Nou, which is why the 'lariani' are obliged to take action if they want to sign the player this January. Additionally, Real Sociedad would also be closely following the Martorell native, who has several options on the table to leave the blaugrana locker room.

The truth is that, despite Flick's desire to continue having García in his ranks, the departure of '24' is imminent and could accelerate in the coming days. The Barça would thus manage to free up salary mass to incorporate the forward they desire to strengthen the attack, with Marcus Rashford being the one most likely to fill the void that the academy player will leave in the squad.
