Eric García transfer talks reveal FC Barcelona’s financial dilemmas

FC Barcelona is currently uncertain about transferring Spanish defender Eric García to Girona in the ongoing winter transfer window due to a financial disparity between the two clubs.

Details of the proposed deal:

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish nationwide daily sports newspaper, Girona has expressed interest in signing Eric García to strengthen its defense.

Barcelona initiated preliminary discussions with Girona, but negotiations have stalled due to a financial disparity between the asking price of the Catalan club and the offer from Girona. Girona is willing to pay 10 million euros for the player’s services.

Barcelona’s position

Barcelona believes that 10 million euros is insufficient and considers García’s market value to be higher than the current offer. While the club is open to discussing the offer, their initial stance has been to retain the player and not let him go in January.

The player’s position

Reports suggest that Eric García has shown willingness to join Girona, which could facilitate an agreement if the financial gap between the two sides is narrowed.

Complications in the deal

Girona acknowledges the difficulty of finalizing the transfer, whether as a loan or a permanent deal, due to Barcelona’s financial demands.

The Catalan club faces a challenge in making a decision that would allow them to maintain both financial and sporting balance.

As the winter transfer window nears its end, it seems Barcelona must find a quick solution to determine García’s future—either by finalizing the transfer or keeping him as an important player in the squad.
