According to reports from each team, Eric Garcia has become a key player in Barcelona's lineup. With Inigo Martinez transferring to Saudi Arabia, his position will be even more important.

Head coach Frick is full of confidence in the youth-based player, and in recent Gamber Cup games, he even let Garcia be the starting right-back while Conde sits on the bench. Garcia will become an important versatile player of the team this season. Barcelona also said during their Asian tour that Garcia's contract renewal is a foregone conclusion and will sign a new contract after returning from South Korea. However, Garcia has not completed a contract renewal and will not be held until the league starts this week. Nevertheless, both parties hope to reach an agreement before the summer transfer window is closed and renewed until 2029 or 2030.

Frick made it clear that he wanted Garcia to stay in Barcelona and blocked his departure in January this year. Now, Frick asks the club to extend Garcia's contract, whose current contract expires in 2026. In fact, Christensen and Lewandowski's contracts are currently due within one year, but the club has decided to end their cooperation with the Polish striker after the end of the season. The club plans to ensure Garcia stays for a long time and offer Danes Christensen an additional year of contract to keep the lineup continuity. Both sides have confidence in this.

Contract renewal negotiations have been underway since early August, when Barcelona contacted Garcia's team. However, due to the club's schedule, the final meeting has not yet been held. Sports Director Deco is still in Brazil for personal reasons, causing many matters to temporarily stagnate.

Garcia is waiting, and also waiting for Oriol Romeu, who needs to leave through termination, but the two sides still need to meet as soon as possible. Conde's contract was ready before Deco left and should be signed soon.

Garcia is a key player in the Flick program, thanks to his versatility. This season, he seems to have a lot of playing time at the centre-back and right-back positions, and has been increasingly stable at the right-back position since the end of last season. As a highly favored player in the market, many clubs have expressed interest in him, but he has always firmly chosen to stay in Barcelona, thanks to the trust of the German coach.

Garcia joined Barcelona as a free agent under the promotion of Ramon Plains. He was an absolute main player in the national team coached by Koeman and Luis Enrique, but lost his main position under Xavi and was eventually loaned to Girona, where he had a great season. Frick recalled him to Barcelona and successfully allowed him to play well in the team. Garcia will continue to play for Barcelona for a long time.
