It is no secret that Eric Garcia’s future at Barcelona is uncertain, with reports suggesting that the defender may be considering a move away from the club.
In that regard, according to a recent report by Gabriel Sans from Mundo Deportivo, although no specific destination has been mentioned, the Premier League is being considered as a potential option for the player.
Garcia’s situation has been under close scrutiny in recent days, particularly due to his limited playing time this season.
While injuries have kept him sidelined for much of the campaign, the future returns of key players like Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen will make it even harder for Garcia to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup.
A lot has been said about his future
A few days ago, it was reported that Hansi Flick recently informed Garcia that it would be difficult to guarantee him consistent game time, given the current strength of the team’s defence.
As a result, Flick is reportedly not going to stand in Garcia’s way if the player decides to seek a move in January.

However, despite these challenges, Barcelona are now reluctant to let him go during the winter transfer window.
The club is determined to hold onto Garcia until the end of the season, as they believe he could still play a role in the long campaign ahead.
Sellable, but not now
It is said that Barcelona view Garcia as a player who could be sold at the end of the season, with the club focusing on the upcoming months before making any final decisions about his future.
The defender himself, though facing a difficult situation, remains determined to prove himself and secure his place at Barcelona.
With a contract that runs until 2026, he is committed to fighting for his position and showing that he can contribute to the team.
However, Barcelona’s high-pressure environment, which demands immediate results, makes it hard for players like Garcia who are struggling to find their place.
For now, his path back into the team seems challenging, and unless injuries or tactical changes offer him unexpected opportunities, Garcia may have to wait until the summer to make a decision about his future.
