Eric Garcia is indeed on the verge of renegotiating a long-term contract with FC Barcelona, which would keep him with the team until 2029. Garcia had indeed seen himself become the "accessory player" in relation to the Barcelona team with the late appointment of Hansi Flick. But this way of conceiving the game by the German coach has brought Garcia back to the status of the main interested party's priority. But it is certain that he will not be sufficiently shielded as long as this player is destined to become the strength of a team positioned by Flick in 2024-25, who himself is supposed to be a starter in all possible positions, except for right-back where he was predetermined to be a defensive midfielder. . If Garcia was a competitor to Koundé in case of injury, the former Manchester player had done what was necessary to establish the period where he showed more goodwill in attitude, during the first three days of La Liga without being troubled by a FC Barcelona victorious on the first three fronts of the competition.
Impressed by the multiple skills developed and the performances (and even the goals scored at decisive moments last season) of Garcia, the Barcelona club decided to extend the contract of its defender on the model of a new five-year contract. The club started talking about it as early as last spring, but it couldn't do anything to implement its will, the budget being blocked due to a lack of funds. The last Barça contract should be around 2024.
For his part, the 24-year-old defender took part in 45 matches across all competitions last season, where he contributed no less than eight times to the goal tally, including a goal against Inter in the Champions League semi-final second leg.
