The most urgent concerns Eric Garcia, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Eric has undoubtedly been Barça’s best defender this season, with Hansi Flick having been able to count on him both at right-back and central defender. He has played 16 matches in all competitions and, given his performances, he should retain an important place in the Catalan squad until the end of the season.
As things stand, this will be Eric’s final season at Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain’s interest in his player makes his future uncertain. It is, however, highly likely that he will remain at the Camp Nou, with Sport announcing that an agreement for a new contract is expected to be finalized before the end of 2025.
Barcelona want Eric to sign long-term contract
Ivan De la Peña, Garcia’s agent, has been in talks with FC Barcelona sporting director Deco for some time, and it is hoped that an agreement will finally be reached in the coming weeks. The plan would be for him to sign until 2029, with an option for an additional year, which would extend it until 2030.
FC Barcelona will be keen to finalize Eric Garcia’s new contract before the end of the year
It makes perfect sense for Barcelona to extend Eric’s contract, given his importance within the first team. He has been very consistent this season, which is to his credit, as little was counted on him after his return to the club following a successful loan to Girona during the 2023-2024 season.
FC Barcelona will be keen to finalize Eric Garcia’s new contract before the end of the year, in order to prevent PSG from concluding a pre-contract. But for now, the work is not finished.
