Barcelona need to organize an exit in order to make their move for Marcus Rashford, although it remains to be seen who leaves. Ansu Fati and Eric García are the two players who seem close to leaving, although both cases are not simple.
It is clear that Barcelona would prefer Fati to leave, but apart from some minor speculation, there has not been much interest in the 22-year-old attacker. Furthermore, he continues to insist on staying at the Catalan club, despite the fact that he has been left out of several matchday calls in recent weeks.
Because of this, Eric has been seen as the player who could unlock the Barcelona move for Rashford. The 24-year-old defender is down the pecking order, although that could change after his decisive contribution against Benfica on Tuesday. This could have played a role, as the club has already taken a definitive stance on the situation.
According to MD, Barcelona have decided that Eric will not leave the club during the winter transfer market. Instead, the plan is for him to remain a valuable option in Flick’s team for the remainder of the season, at which time his situation will be reassessed.
This news is very bad for Como and Girona, which are the two clubs that have shown the most interest in Eric. The former recently made an offer below Barcelona’s asking price, and now it seems that neither club will have the chance to get him in the middle of the season.
It would not be a surprise if Eric left Barcelona in 2025, given that his current contract expires at the end of next season. There will surely be plans to cash in, and given that interest in their services should continue into the summer (especially from Girona), the opportunity to do so is likely to present itself. In the meantime, there will be no movement.
