Hansi Flick Blocks Summer Exits for Fermรญn Lรณpez and Eric Garcรญa
New FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has firmly communicated to the clubโs sporting department that Fermรญn Lรณpez and Eric Garcรญa 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 2024โ25 season. Fermรญn, who impressed with his energy and attacking drive last season, has reportedly caught Flickโs eye in early assessments. Meanwhile, Eric Garcรญa โ who spent last season on loan at Girona โ 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, Flickโs 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 Fermรญn and Garcรญa now look set to play key roles under the German coachโs leadership.
