A fresh report from L’Équipe (via AS) has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain are keeping close tabs on Barcelona defender Eric Garcia, with manager Luis Enrique keen on reuniting with the Spanish international.
The 24-year-old centre-back has been enjoying a strong season under Hansi Flick, and his performances have not gone unnoticed across Europe.
Garcia, who remains under contract with Barcelona until 2026, has become a regular starter since Inigo Martinez’s departure, forming a reliable partnership with teenage sensation Pau Cubarsi at the heart of the defence.
This resurgence has sparked interest from PSG, who see the former Manchester City defender as an ideal addition to their backline.
Enrique, familiar with Garcia from their time together with the Spanish national team, has long admired his composure, positional sense, and ability to build from the back, 1ualities that fit perfectly into PSG’s style of play.

With his deal expiring in 2026, PSG could open formal negotiations with the player as early as January.
In fact, they are weighing up the possibility of making a move during the winter transfer window, particularly after Achraf Hakimi’s injury, which is expected to sideline him for at least six weeks.
While PSG’s immediate priority is to find cover in defence, Garcia’s versatility makes him an attractive target.
Barcelona are not interested
However, sources close to Barcelona insist that the club have no intention of selling him, especially to a potential Champions League rival.
The Blaugrana remain optimistic about renewing Garcia’s contract, confident that the player’s recent revival under Flick could persuade him to stay long-term.
With his profile rising rapidly and Enrique’s admiration growing, the French club might be tempted to make a serious offer before he commits to Barcelona.
