Erik Garcia is happy to stay at Barcelona

Barcelona football club defender Eric Garcia revealed that he was very close to leaving the team last year. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by euro-football.ru. According to the footballer, in January 2025 he had almost reached an agreement to transfer to the Italian club Como.

However, the transfer deal was not finalized. Later, Eric Garcia secured a place in Barcelona's main squad and did not miss the opportunity to prove himself.

"At one point, I felt like I was going to Como. But the match against Benfica completely changed the situation.

At that time, I spoke with the coach and decided to stay. Now I can say that this decision was the right one," said the footballer.

The match against Benfica, which was a turning point for Garcia, took place during the group stage of last season's Champions League. In this game, Barcelona won 5-4 and defender Eric Garcia managed to score a goal.

This event took his career at the club to a new level.
