The 2024-2025 season has been crucial for a player from FC Barcelona whose future is now more uncertain than ever. This player began the season without a clear role in the team, but his performance has taken an unexpected turn. With his versatility, he has become a valuable asset, and several clubs, including Cesc Fàbregas's Como, have shown interest in him.
a complicated start and an unexpected turn
Eric García began the season in a complicated situation. The competition in Barcelona's defense was fierce, with players like Iñigo Martínez, Pau Cubarsí, Ronald Araujo, and Andreas Christensen ahead of him.
Despite having been tested in the pivot position, where he also didn't seem to have many opportunities, the prospects for him weren't the best. However, coach Hansi Flick decided to give him a chance, and he wasn't wrong.
Throughout the season, Eric has proven to be an extremely versatile player, capable of playing as a center-back, pivot, and even full-back. This ability to adapt to different roles has allowed him to secure a place in the team and perform at a high level. With four goals and two assists in 41 matches, his market value has grown notably, which has put his future at Barça in doubt.
his impact on Barça
Eric García has gone from being a player with few minutes to becoming one of the most important wildcards in the squad. His performance has been outstanding, and although he isn't always a starter, his versatility makes him key for Hansi Flick. As of today, he is considered one of the team's most valuable assets, which makes his future uncertain.
FC Barcelona, however, doesn't consider him an untransferable player. Although Eric has shown his quality, the club could sell him if an attractive offer comes in, given the economic needs.
cesc fàbregas's and como's interest
One of the clubs that has shown the most interest in Eric García is Como, led by Cesc Fàbregas. Fàbregas himself has confirmed in a press conference that they are closely following the situation of the Barça defender.
In his statements, he highlighted Eric's qualities, emphasizing his versatility and leadership. For Fàbregas, the Catalan player would be a very valuable addition to his team.
However, Cesc was also clear in stating that, despite their interest, it is complicated for Eric García to leave Barcelona: "He will stay at Barcelona," assured the Spanish coach. Despite this, he hinted that Como hasn't lost hope of signing him in the future and will keep an eye on his situation.
