Barcelona finds itself in a complicated situation after one of its stars caught the eye of Paris Saint-Germain, who are looking to sign him in the upcoming winter transfer window.
The newspaper “Sport” confirmed that PSG, at the request of coach Luis Enrique, will make a move to sign Eric Garcia in January, especially since his contract at Camp Nou expires at the end of the current season. This could force Barcelona to sell him to generate some revenue.
At the same time, Barcelona officials consider Garcia an indispensable pillar of the team. He is a versatile player who can be relied upon in multiple positions on the field and also plays a significant leadership role in the dressing room.
Barcelona’s management is seeking to renew the 24-year-old’s contract, and it is said that negotiations between the two parties have reached an advanced stage and that an agreement is close, despite the interest and substantial offer the player has recently received from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French club is closely monitoring developments in the coming weeks, and should there be any indication that the agreement between Garcia and Barça is collapsing, Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s administration plans to make a strong push to convince the player to move to the Parc des Princes, even as early as next January.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s management is determined to keep Garcia and will fight to persuade him. The player himself still prefers to stay at Camp Nou, which suggests that the Catalan club could resolve the matter within a few weeks by signing a new four-year contract.
