Barcelona defender Eric Garcia has reportedly decided on his future at the club amid interest from Premier League giants Newcastle United. The 23-year-old joined the Catalan side from Manchester City as a free agent in 2021 after spending four years with The Cityzens.
Garcia had an impressive loan spell last season with Girona. He scored five goals in 33 games and helped them qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their 94-year history. The Blanquivermells secured 81 points in 38 games in LaLiga that season, finishing third behind Real Madrid (95) and Barcelona (85).
However, he has spent most of the season on the bench under new manager Hansi Flick. The 23-year-old has racked up an average of just 42 minutes per game in the 13 games he's played so far this season. Out of them, he has started just five games under the German tactician.
