As FC Barcelona look to bring in a fresh injection of money by sanctioning the sale of many unwanted stars, Eric Garcia has unsurprisingly found himself on the list of players facing an uncertain future at the club.
Barcelona are open to selling the former Manchester City starlet, with Inter Milan among the clubs reportedly interested in his services.
However, according to Adrian Sanchez, Garcia’s entourage has no idea about any offer amid reports linking him with a move away from Camp Nou.
This comes as hardly a surprise for Barcelona. Even though Inter Milan have enquired about the Spaniard, their interest is far from concrete. So it is understandable why Garcia’s environment does not know about any offers for the defender.
Given the chance, though, Barcelona would certainly welcome offers for Garcia, who has failed to live up to the expectations since rejoining the club. The 22-year-old made only 15 starts in the league this past season, falling behind the likes of Jules Kounde, Andreas Christensen, and Ronald Araujo in the pecking order.
It must be mentioned that Barcelona are looking to register experienced centre-back Inigo Martinez ahead of the new season. The exit of Garcia, in that regard, could go a long way in helping the club reduce the salary mass further, which in turn, may help them register Martinez.
Recent reports suggest Barcelona are looking for a fee of around €10-15 million for the services of Eric Garcia. The club had re-signed the player on a free transfer in 2021, so the club would welcome such a figure for the struggling defender.
Apart from Garcia, Barcelona are also looking to offload other struggling players in the first team, including Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, though neither have any desire to leave Camp Nou anytime soon.
