Erik Garcia happy to stay at Barcelona

Barcelona football club defender Eric Garcia spoke about how he was on the verge of leaving the team last year. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by *euro-football.ru*. The Spanish footballer was very close to transferring to the Italian Serie A club Como in January 2025.

However, it was not possible to finalize the transfer agreement. As a result, Garcia managed to secure a place in Barcelona's main squad.

"At one time, I thought I would move to Como. But the match against Benfica was a major turning point in my life.

After talking with Flick, I decided to stay at Barcelona. Today, I can clearly say that this decision was the right one," Garcia said in an interview with Spanish media.

The match against Benfica, which was a turning point for the footballer, took place last season during the group stage of the Champions League. In this match, Barcelona won 5-4.

Eric Garcia also managed to score a goal in that game. The result of this match was important not only for Barcelona but also for Garcia's career.
