Eric Garcia Discusses New Contract with Barcelona and Future Captaincy Aspirations

Eric Garcia has revealed that he is engaged in discussions about extending his contract with Barcelona and expressed interest in potentially taking on a leadership role within the team.

Career Revival at Barcelona

The 24-year-old defender appeared on the verge of exiting Barcelona before Hansi Flick assumed management last summer. Since then, he has revitalized his standing with the La Liga champions.

Performance Highlights

Last season, Garcia featured in 45 matches across various tournaments, contributing significantly with five goals and three assists.

Contract Negotiations

Garcia’s current agreement with the club is set to lapse next summer. However, Barcelona aims to avoid losing him without a transfer fee. He confirmed the ongoing negotiations, stating, “Everything will be discussed soon. We’ve started talking about a renewal.”

Future Leadership Possibilities

When questioned about the possibility of becoming a captain in the future, he replied, “Captain? Who knows if I could be a candidate for captaincy in the future.”
