Girona continues to focus on strengthening its squad for the second half of the season, and all signs point to Eric García being the Catalan club's sole target in this winter market. The defender, who has not had many opportunities under Hansi Flick at FC Barcelona, is seen as an ideal fit for Míchel Sánchez's system.

After a successful loan spell last season, where Eric García became a key figure in Girona's defense, the club tried unsuccessfully to keep him last summer. Now, the sports management led by Quique Cárcel is determined to reopen negotiations with Barça to finalize his signing, although aware that it will not be a straightforward deal. "He's a player who fit perfectly into our style, and we want to try to bring him back, but everything depends on the conditions set by Barcelona," Cárcel stated before the Sevilla match.

Michel knows perfectly well what Eric García can bring to Girona

According to reports from the newspaper Sport, Eric's versatility and ability to start plays from the back make him a very attractive profile for Girona, especially in the context of a team that prioritizes offensive football and clean build-up from defense. However, the club is not willing to compromise its financial stability, so any agreement must adhere to reasonable parameters.

The player, on his part, also holds fond memories of his time at Montilivi, where he was part of a historic season. It remains to be seen if Barça is willing to facilitate his departure on favorable terms for all parties. What is clear is that Girona will not easily give up on a player they consider fundamental to continue consolidating their position in the elite of Spanish football.
