Hansi Flick Blocks Summer Exits for FermĂn LĂłpez and Eric GarcĂa
New FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has firmly communicated to the clubâs sporting department that FermĂn LĂłpez and Eric GarcĂa are not available for transfer this summer.
According to sources close to the club, Flick views both players as integral to his plans for the 2024â25 season. FermĂn, who impressed with his energy and attacking drive last season, has reportedly caught Flickâs eye in early assessments. Meanwhile, Eric GarcĂa â who spent last season on loan at Girona â is expected to be reintegrated into the squad and compete for a spot in central defense.
With Barcelona navigating financial constraints and a strategic rebuild, Flickâs decision to retain these two young Spaniards signals a strong commitment to developing internal talent rather than relying heavily on new signings.
As pre-season approaches, both FermĂn and GarcĂa now look set to play key roles under the German coachâs leadership.
