Eric Garcia loaned to Girona
FC Barcelona and fellow Catalan club reach deal for the defender to play for the latter until 30 June 2024
FC Barcelona and Girona FC have struck a deal for the loan of Eric Garcia until 30 June 2024. There is no option to purchase the player.
Eric Garcia came back to FC Barcelona two years ago. The centre back had started out at Barça Escola way back in 2008 and reside at La Masia until 2017, when he departed on what would be a four-year spell at Manchester City. In 2021, he returned to Catalonia.
Especially in the first of his two seasons, he was an almost ever-present in the Barça back four, demonstrating the ability of a typical blaugrana defender to get the ball to feet. He got fewer games in 2022/23, but still amassed 70 appearances in two campaigns.
