Barca rubbing their hands together over Eric Garcia's Girona performances

Girona are shining at the start of the season, with a project that has left the team as leaders after the first few rounds of the championship. One of key reason s for this is Eric Garcia finding his best level again. Barça are already rubbing their hands together with the revaluation of a player who had to leave due to the great competition in the centre-back position, but he is an asset that will be taken into account in the future.

Eric Garcia finally decided to leave for Girona because he wanted guarantees of playing as many minutes as possible. He had other offers such as Betis, but he made the right choice and has clearly relaunched his career. Last season, Xavi Hernández didn't use him at the back and he even played a couple of times in the pivot position due to the large number of players in the defence. In Girona he is proving that he is still one of the most promising Spanish centre-backs.

Eric Garcia's season could take him back to the Spanish national team in the next international break. Since Luis Enrique's departure from the national team, Eric has taken a back seat in La Roja, something that could change in the coming weeks. At Barça, they are hoping that this leap will give him even more visibility at international level.

With a contract until 2026, Eric could be a vital strategic asset for Barça. The Blaugrana could sell a centre-back next season. They will need to make money and it is clear that the overbooking will lead to a major sale. Eric could fill that gap or leave the Blaugrana club definitively because he will certainly have offers if he continues with this performance. The player's idea is to play as many minutes as possible and consolidate his position. What he is making clear is that he is a top level player and that he will have a place at Barça if necessary in the future.
