World Sports: Eric Garcia s contract renewal progress is slower than expected, but Barcelona is confident of staying

"World Sports" published an article reporting on Eric Garcia's contract renewal.

ShiTaiwan said that Eric Garcia's contract renewal progress was slower than expected. Although Conde, whose contract expires in 2027, is ready to renew his contract until 2030, the Lamacia-born defender has not yet determined his future. His contract will expire in 2026, and Chairman Laporta has made it clear that he does not want any players to enter the contract year.

coach Frick required four central defenders, and Eric Garcia, who became a key player last season with his versatile attributes, ranked among them. Sports director Deco opens the door for the departure of one of the centre-backs (probably Christensen), and Barcelona needs to build a strong and solid defense in the 2025-26 season.

Barcelona and Garcia both showed positive intentions to renew their contracts. The club is confident that the two sides will reach a consensus smoothly and believe that the agreement will be finalized as soon as possible. After Frick took office, Eric Garcia was crucial in his tactical system. Not only can he be competent as a central defender, but he can also serve as a defensive midfielder and right back, showing outstanding performance in all positions.

Frick has approved the launch of contract renewal negotiations. The player himself hopes to continue playing for Barcelona. He feels the sense of belonging and importance here, and the leadership of the locker room is becoming increasingly prominent.
