The serious injury of Achraf Hakimi following a violent tackle by Luiz Diaz in the match Champions League against Bayern Munich (1-2) changed Paris Saint-Germain’s plans for the next transfer window.

While Luis Enrique repeatedly repeated his desire to exploit the versatility of his players to fill the occasional absences of the Moroccan, the PSG coach would now be inclined to register reinforcement for this position.

Warren Zaire-Emery or Joao Neves had the merit of helping out on this right side, but Luis Enrique would like to be able to count on a versatile defender capable of playing in this position or in the central hinge. Eric Garcia checks these boxes.

Eric Garcia, a delicate matter for PSG

Because Barcelona, ​​which is already plagued by major defensive problems, would have absolutely no intention of placing its player on the market. According to the daily AS, the Catalan club would be calm about its ability to keep the Spanish international until the end of the season after a nice contract extension. As a reminder, Eric Garcia sees his lease expire in June 2026 and will therefore be free to negotiate with the club of his choice from January 1. A decisive point for PSG in this series.
