Barcelona reach arrangement with 24-year-old defender on five-year deal

Barcelona will continue their spate of agreement renewals with Eric Garcia, the latest to reach a contract with the club. The former Manchester City guy is poised to sign a brand-new long-term contract after earning a spot in Hansi Flick’s plans.Garcia was one

of the most gifted prospects at La Masia when he left as a teenager for City, where he made his debut, and ended up being a rotational option for Pep Guardiola. At the age of 20, Garcia ran out agreement and concurred an offer to return to the Catalan giants, and returning in 2021.

According to Sport, Barcelona and Garcia have actually already reached an agreement on a new five-year contract that will connect him to the club till 2030. His present offer ends next season, and in January it appeared he might be leaving the club for a second time, however whether he was playing in midfield, at centre-back or latterly at right-back, Garcia earned Flick’s trust, and turn into one of the primary options to the beginning XI.They say the German supervisor had actually expressly requested that Garcia be kept at the club, as he values the 24-year-old’s flexibility and tactical intelligence.This possibly is no coincidence. With Kounde hurt for the Champions League semi-finals, and El Clasico, Garcia did a great task as his replacement at right-back, and maybe has encouraged Barcelona that he can be the main option to Kounde. In the spring, right-back was being cited as one of Barcelona’s concerns in the summer transfer market.
