He doesn\u2019t have faith in him, and all signs point to him leaving FC Barcelona in January.<\/p>\n
Hansi Flick has opted to rest Cubars\u00ed for the Getafe match, and has not included Ronald Ara\u00fajo, who has been medically cleared since Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Instead, he has chosen to pair Eric Garc\u00eda with \u00cd\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez. This is an interesting choice, as Flick has repeatedly stated throughout the season that he didn\u2019t consider Eric as a central defender, seeing him only as a useful pivot.<\/p>\n
While this may seem surprising, Flick\u2019s decision is part of a strategy to sell the Catalan defender. He included him in the Legan\u00e9s match for this reason.<\/p>\n
It might appear that Eric\u2019s position in the team is improving, but in reality, nothing has changed. Flick is following instructions to feature players who are likely to leave in the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n
By playing Eric Garc\u00eda today, the intention is to demonstrate that he is a valuable player for Barcelona and could be for other clubs as well. Keeping him on the bench would mean missing the opportunity to earn from him.<\/p>\n
Eric Garc\u00eda remains open to negotiations if a good offer comes in. At 23, he wants to feel valued, which he doesn\u2019t in Hansi Flick\u2019s team, a situation unlikely to improve. He has made 11 appearances across La Liga and the Champions League, but has played only 457 minutes so far.<\/p>\n
Eric Garc\u00eda returns to the team for the match against Legan\u00e9s, at a time when Ara\u00fajo, another player up for sale, has recently recovered, and Christensen is back in training. Both are now ahead of Garc\u00eda in the pecking order, with Hansi Flick giving the green light for their departures.<\/p>\n
Eric Garc\u00eda\u2019s future appears to be away from Barcelona, with Flick approving his exit. According to Madrid-Barcelona, Garc\u00eda has received an offer from Girona and is inclined to accept it. However, the final decision rests with Laporta, who hopes to secure between 10 and 15 million euros from his sale.<\/p>\n
Flick has made it clear that Eric Garc\u00eda doesn\u2019t fit into his plans. The defense is well-covered, and there\u2019s no room for him, even if he starts today against Legan\u00e9s. Currently, Cubars\u00ed, \u00cd\u00f1igo, and the recently recovered Ara\u00fajo are ahead of him, and once Christensen is fully fit, all defensive positions will be occupied.
\nAs if that weren\u2019t enough, Eric Garc\u00eda is also aware that next season, Tah from Leverkusen will join the team on a free transfer. He is ready to accept the offer from Girona, and everyone at Bar\u00e7a, including Flick, is aware of this. It seems his departure is imminent, with all parties prepared to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n
In the coming weeks, there are expected to be updates on the future of Eric Garc\u00eda, who is nearly out of Barcelona\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
