Eric Garcia is young and full of potential. Having been a former La Masia youngster then training under Pep Guardiola at the City Football Academy, he’s a massive addition to this Barcelona squad and he is here to make an impact. He’s extremely versatile as a footballer and it looks like the signing is going to pay off well for the Catalans.
Barcelona are on a major operation to overhaul their defensive lineup. They have already brought on Emerson from Real Betis to give Sergino Dest competition on the right flank. Meanwhile, the Catalans are also actively looking to sign another left-back as Jordi Alba’s replacement.
