A German team also wanted Eric Garcia.
Hi community!
Borussia Dortmund were interested but the deal never got off the ground because the centre-back had his future clear: either Girona or stay at Barça.
Eric Garcia will remain at Barça for the remainder of the season. With a contract until 2026, his future at Camp Nou will be discussed again. The centre-back has the approval of Hansi Flick although several clubs have tried to sign him in this winter transfer market. The latest club interested, according to MD, has been Borussia Dortmund.
The operation with the Germans never got off the ground. The player was clear about the scenario from the start. Seeing that he was not getting any minutes and was not part of Flick's plans, Girona was a good destination. He would return to play for a club and with a coach who adores him and was close to home. Como also wanted him but he did not appear to be a realistic option.
The economic differences between Barça and Girona were always obvious. At Camp Nou they did not accept the proposal from the Montilivi club, which they described as very low. Some press reports spoke of 10 million. In Italy it was said that Como offered even less, around 8 million at most.
According to sources consulted, Eric Garcia had a clear idea beyond the amount: Girona or Barça. A conversation with Deco and Flick ended up clearing up their doubts. The centre back was very aware that he had already left the Catalan club once and did not want to repeat the experience if all the conditions were not met.
See You soon!
