Hansi Flick Blocks Summer Exits for Fermín López and Eric García
New FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has firmly communicated to the club’s sporting department that Fermín López and Eric García 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 2024–25 season. Fermín, who impressed with his energy and attacking drive last season, has reportedly caught Flick’s eye in early assessments. Meanwhile, Eric García — who spent last season on loan at Girona — 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, Flick’s 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 Fermín and García now look set to play key roles under the German coach’s leadership.
