Eric García’s Barcelona Future in Doubt as Flick Limits His Role
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is largely pleased with his squad’s performances, but some players are struggling to maintain consistency—an issue that becomes more evident as the season enters its decisive phase.
According to El Nacional, one such player facing an uncertain future is Eric García. Despite initially rejecting a January exit due to increased playing time, García now finds himself as the last defensive option in Flick’s hierarchy. With Ronald Araújo, Iñigo Martínez, and Pau Cubarsí preferred over him, García’s role has been reduced to occasional late-game appearances to rest key defenders.
Tougher Competition Ahead
His situation is set to become even more challenging with Andreas Christensen nearing full fitness. The Danish center-back has been sidelined for much of the season but is expected to reclaim a prominent role once he returns, pushing García further down the pecking order.
Summer Exit Likely
With his future at Barcelona increasingly uncertain, club president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco are open to selling García this summer. The club is reportedly seeking €10 million for him, hoping to secure a suitable offer.
Unless an unexpected turn of events occurs, García’s time at Barcelona appears to be nearing its end, with the summer transfer window likely to be decisive for his career.
