AS: Barcelona is optimistic about Eric Garcia s contract extension and negotiations between the two parties are progressing smoothly

November 12 According to a report by the Spanish media "AS", Barcelona management needs to complete the contract extension with Eric Garcia as soon as possible, otherwise more and more clubs will be interested in him, not just Paris. It is worth noting that Eric Garcia will be able to negotiate with any other team starting in January because his contract will expire on June 30.

However, Barcelona is optimistic about this because the negotiations between the two parties are progressing smoothly and both parties hope to reach an agreement so that the players can continue to play for Barcelona for many years.

For Barcelona and head coach Flick, Eric Garcia is indispensable. In the game against Celta Vigo, Eric Garcia performed well and assumed the role of right back, although Konde was unable to start due to injury. Even though he suffered a broken nose and wore a mask late in the game against Club Brugge, he still performed very well on the wing.

Eric Garcia performed very resolutely and decisively on the defensive end, winning 4 of 7 confrontations, successfully making 3 steals, 2 clearances, and 1 interception. In the offensive organization phase, his passing success rate was as high as 93% (81 of 87 passes were successful), especially in the opponent's half, his passing success rate was as high as 95% (63 of 66 passes were successful). In addition, he also showed good coordination with Yamal.

Considering that Conde's performance this season is not stable (even sometimes he can only come on as a substitute), Flick reactivating Eric Garcia as the right back, paired with Cubasi and Araujo as the central defender, is also a good choice. No matter what position he plays, Eric Garcia is a valuable asset to the team.
