Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has intervened to prevent the transfer of defender Eric Garcia to Italian club Como. The deal, which was nearly finalised for a fee of €7 million plus additional clauses, was halted as Flick views Garcia as a crucial component of his plans for the team.
Transfer Deal Halted
The proposed move for the 24-year-old centre-back was on the verge of completion before Flick stepped in to retain the player. Garcia, who joined Barcelona from Manchester City, has been a part of the club’s defensive line-up and is considered vital by Flick for the club’s future strategies.
Flick’s Vision for Barcelona
Flick, who has expressed his enthusiasm for his role at Barcelona, has been actively involved in shaping the squad. His decision to keep Garcia aligns with his previous statements about maintaining key players to strengthen the team’s core. Flick has also been vocal about his confidence in resolving player registration issues and has praised the leadership qualities of other team members, such as Ronald Araújo.
Eric Garcia, known for his defensive skills and tactical awareness, remains a part of Barcelona’s plans under Flick’s management.
