Confirmed, Real Sociedad Signs from Barça: Deco Forces Flick to Sell

Real Sociedad wants to sign from Barcelona, already considering a sale to finance new signings.

In recent weeks, Hansi Flick and Deco have held several meetings to plan the next season for FC Barcelona. The German coach and the sporting director are looking to strengthen certain areas of the team to maintain competitiveness. Among the priorities are improving the attack and adding quality full-backs.

The attack has been one of the areas that Flick and Deco consider crucial to reinforce. The lack of depth in this position has affected the team's performance at key moments. Therefore, the management is looking for market options that fit Barça's play style.

Flick's Barça Has Other Needs

Regarding the full-backs, the need to bring in players who provide defensive solidity and offensive projection is evident. The management is working on identifying talents who can quickly adapt to Flick's system. These additions are essential to maintain balance in the team.

However, to finance these signings, FC Barcelona needs to generate income through sales. One of the options being considered is the departure of a central defender who has attracted interest from other clubs. Despite his talent, his role in the team has been a subject of debate.

Real Want to Sign Him As Soon As Possible

Real Sociedad has shown significant interest in this defender. Imanol Alguacil's team is looking to strengthen their defense for the next season and sees the Barça player as an ideal opportunity. His ability to adapt to different tactical systems makes him an attractive target.

Eric García, 24 years old, is the defender in question. His contract with FC Barcelona extends until 2026, but his prominence has decreased in recent months. Real Sociedad believes his playing style would fit perfectly into their tactical scheme.

Eric García Would Open the Door to Possible Arrivals at Barça

The possible departure of García would allow FC Barcelona to obtain the necessary funds to make the desired additions. Deco, aware of the club's financial situation, views the operation favorably. Although Flick values the defender, he understands the need to balance the finances.

The final decision on the sale of Eric García will depend on the negotiations between both clubs and the player's willingness. Meanwhile, Barcelona continues working on their planning for the next season, seeking a balance between a competitive squad and ensuring economic stability.
