Cesc Fàbregas doesn't mess around and is planning the squad that Como will have next season. The young coach intends to take a step forward and hopes to qualify for Europe sooner rather than later, continuing with his evolution. For this, he seeks strategic signings, for the present and future, that can offer the Italian club the quality leap it is so eagerly seeking.
Cesc Fàbregas Targets Barça: A 10 million Offer
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that, in recent hours, there have been contacts from Como with Barça. Their relations are good and there have been other deals before. The figure of 10 million euros has been put forward to close a signing for next summer. We are talking about Eric García, an old desire of Fàbregas who was already close to signing him in January.
Eric García has taken a step forward in terms of quality and importance in the final phase of the season, being decisive in top-level matches. Although at times it seemed he was out, Laporta's response to Cesc Fàbregas's Como has been clear: he is not leaving. The Catalan defender is in Hansi Flick's plans and, far from seeking an exit, the aim is to renew his current contract.
At 24 years old, Eric García has been found to be the perfect wildcard for Barcelona's defensive area. Despite being naturally a central defender, he can cover both the defensive midfield and the right-back position. And all at a high level. His performance has convinced Hansi Flick, who has personally asked Laporta for his long-term renewal, ending his contract in 2026.
Eric García: Renewal in Progress
Throughout the current campaign, across all competitions, Eric García has played a total of 41 matches. He has scored four goals, the vast majority important, and has provided two assists.
Sources confirm to Madrid-Barcelona that the plan is to start negotiations for Eric García's renewal when the season ends. He will be offered a new long-term contract, trying to ensure his continuity and dispel any possibility of departure.
It is true that Cesc Fàbregas's Como wants him, as do Girona and some teams from England, but Eric García prioritizes continuing at Barça. Hansi Flick wants him and Laporta hopes to renew him sooner rather than later.
