Luis Enrique would be interested in signing Eric Garc\u00eda. With Achraf Hakimi injured, PSG is left without a reliable right-back and Bar\u00e7a’s ’24’ is one of the most highly rated options<\/h2>\n

Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> <\/strong>could go for a right-back in the next winter transfer window. The injury to Achraf Hakimi<\/strong> against Bayern Munich could leave the Moroccan out until January and, for the moment, Warren Za\u00efre-Emery<\/strong> has been Luis Enrique’s choice to cover the flank.<\/p>\n

With no other natural center-back for this position in the Parisian squad, the Asturian coach has reportedly set his sights on Eric Garc\u00eda <\/strong>as a potential reinforcement for the second half of the 25\/26 season. As reported by ‘L’Equipe’, PSG could present a reduced offer for the Martorell-born player in January<\/strong>, taking advantage of his imminent contract expiry with FC Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Eric has established himself as Jules Kound\u00e9’s replacement this year, being **the defender with the most minutes in Hansi Flick’s team so far this season (1,211′)**. His versatility and offensive contribution have made him a key player for the German coach, and for this reason, the club is working on his renewal<\/p>\n

How much would PSG offer Bar\u00e7a for Eric Garc\u00eda?<\/h2>\n

Garc\u00eda’s market value has risen to 25 million euros on ‘Transfermarkt’ in recent months. However, the defender’s contract ends in June, which would allow Paris to negotiate a lower price, **in the region of 12-15 million**.<\/p>\n

Bar\u00e7a was close to selling the 24-year-old center-back last January<\/strong>, but Flick blocked his departure. Time ultimately proved the German right, as the player from Martorell was a key support in dealing with defensive injuries, even playing several games as a defensive midfielder in the first half of 24\/25.<\/p>\n

Last summer\u2019s transfer window also saw offers for Eric, but the defender preferred to stay, knowing he was an important player for the German coach. Now, both the player and the club seem willing to sign a new contract<\/a>, an option that PSG is trying to torpedo with an offer that is not very tempting for Bar\u00e7a at the moment.<\/p>\n

With the winter transfer window approaching, the board is not considering any signings or departures<\/a>. Despite the injury crisis, Flick has full confidence in the talent and depth of the squad to compete for all titles in 2026. Eric Garc\u00eda, logically, is a player the staff will not want to lose for the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

Barcelona Works on Eric Garc\u00eda’s Contract Extension<\/h2>\n

In this regard, the club could offer the Spanish international a contract for four or five more seasons, until June 2030-31, with the ’24’ being one of the three players whose contracts expire in June. The other two are Andreas Christensen and Robert Lewandowski, whose renewals appear more distant due to the physical factor and age, respectively.<\/p>\n

With Eric, on the other hand, there is confidence in resolving his contract extension before Christmas. This would dissipate the interest of PSG and other teams in the defender, who arrived at Barcelona for free in 2021 from Manchester City. At the moment, he has scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists in 131 official matches, in addition to 5 trophies with the club.<\/p>\n
