The 2 Premier League clubs knocking on Eric García's door

Eric García, a defender for FC Barcelona, has become a target for Chelsea and Newcastle United, who are looking to bolster their squads for the upcoming seasons. Both Premier League clubs are considering the Spanish international as a key player to solidify their defensive lines. Barcelona, on the other hand, is willing to negotiate his departure for a fee close to 25 million euros.

García, who previously played for Manchester City, has proven to be a versatile player capable of performing as a center-back, full-back, or even in a more advanced role as a defensive midfielder. This tactical flexibility makes him attractive to teams like Chelsea, which needs to revamp its defense after the inconsistencies of players like Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile. Newcastle, on the other hand, is seeking depth and quality to strengthen a defense that has shown weaknesses at crucial moments.

The Premier League Shows Interest in Eric García

The interest in the young player is also fueled by his previous experience in the Premier League, suggesting that he could quickly adapt to the pace of English competition. Chelsea, in particular, requires a defender who can provide security and long-term projection, while Newcastle is looking for an addition that allows them to compete at the highest level in Europe.

Amid this scenario, Barcelona may view García's sale favorably, given the financial challenges the club is facing. Clearing space in the squad and generating significant revenue could facilitate future moves in the transfer market for the Blaugranas.
