The defender of Barcelona in the list of the list of the rival of the league hoping to take advantage of the contract situation
Barcelona can't believe how things are going so far, with almost the entire team responding to the training of Hansi Flick until. There are one or two cases where his magic touch is still ineffective.
One of them is Ansu Fati, who could leave in January, but another is Eric Garcia. He has made eight appearances so far, racking up 448 minutes, but his season has been cut short by injuries and a suspension following his red card against AS Monaco. The 24-year-old has been asked for opportunities in his natural central defensive position.
Barcelona will let Ansu Fati and his agent Jorge Mendes decide what to do in January. If they want a loan, Barça will make things easier. @sport

Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi are the current first choice, with Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo yet to return from injury – youngster Sergi Dominguez has played more in defense than Eric. Now with Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez and Frenkie de Jong returning from injury, he could face even less playing time.
According to Super sports, Royal Society they monitor his situation, and are interested in making a move for him either next summer or in 2026, when his contract expires. If the Blaugrana can't agree a new deal with Eric, then La Real could probably get him on the cheap.
Eric was wanted by Girona again in the summer after a strong season on loan last time out, playing in defense and helping to lead them to a Champions League spot. However Barcelona chose to keep him, feeling that they lacked resources and depth. Depending on the way of the contract discussions, they can be well supplied for the next season either in the defensive midfield, or in the center-back.
