Garcia Reflects on Staying at Barcelona Amid Transfer Speculation

The defender was on the verge of moving to the Serie A team during the January 2025 transfer window.

Ultimately, Garcia remained with Barcelona and has now confirmed these earlier reports.

“At one point, a transfer to Como seemed inevitable, but everything shifted after the match against Benfica,” he stated.

“Looking back, I can confidently say that staying was the best choice,” he shared with Sport.

Barcelona triumphed in the thrilling Champions League clash against Benfica, winning 5-4, during which Garcia contributed by scoring a goal. Following that match, he has established himself as a key player under coach Hansi Flick.
