"The former Manchester City star spent a year on loan at Girona and almost left the club in January, before the manager convinced him to stay. Since then, the Spaniard has only gone from strength to strength. The 24-year-old is the player with the most minutes in the squad, and his versatility is highly valued. As such, within the club, he is viewed as a potential future captain,"
"Given his value to the team, Hansi Flick and Barça have been working hard to renew his contract, which stands to expire at the end of the ongoing season. Agreement in principle reached Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona and Eric have reached a preliminary agreement in principle after weeks of negotiations. The 24-year-old defender had an offer on the table from PSG, but has chosen to remain at Barça, his home, where he feels fully happy within the group."
Eric Garcia has reached a preliminary agreement to renew his Barcelona contract, which otherwise would expire at the end of the season. The 24-year-old turned down an offer from PSG and chose to stay at Barcelona, where he feels happy and integrated with La Masia graduates and national-team colleagues. Hansi Flick regards Garcia as essential and values his versatility and consistency across positions. Garcia logged the most minutes in the squad after fighting for his place following a loan at Girona and near-departure in January. The renewal is expected to extend his stay until 2030 and is entering formalisation, with an announcement likely soon.
