Spanish media "World Sports" reported that Barcelona continues to be committed to future sports planning. Yesterday, Barcelona director Deco held a key meeting with Eric Garcia's agent Ivan De La Peña to discuss the issue of players' contract renewal.
Eric Garcia's current contract contains a 400 million euro termination clause and will expire next summer. His stay or leave is an important issue in Barcelona's management's to-do business, and the sports department believes that the renewal operation is strategic.
Eric Garcia has performed soundly and outstandingly this season and has been included in the club's sports management's future plans. The summit focused on discussing the specific terms of the contract extension, and both parties showed their willingness to continue to cooperate.
Eric Garcia has grown into a core member that coach Flick attaches great importance to. The club recognizes players as the present and future of the defense line, and their ability to continuously improve and multi-position adaptability are the strategic assets that the team urgently needs. After experiencing the doubts of last season, the player himself felt the club's attention and rekindled the momentum.
Eric Garcia has maintained a full attendance record this season and started in all four games. He played as right-back in the first two rounds of the league against Mallorca and Levante, and in the recent match against Vallecano and Valencia, he returned to the most familiar central defender position. He has teamed up with Christensen and Kubalsea. These two central defenders performed well against Valencia and are expected to continue to start in the away game against Newcastle in the Champions League. He played in 45 games last season, including 19 starters.
Negotiations with De La Peña will continue in the coming weeks in an attempt to reach a final agreement on Eric Garcia's contract renewal.
