Olympic star defender doesn't rule out leaving FC Barcelona this summer

Coming on the back of a successful loan move to Girona and a star-making campaign at the Paris Olympics, Eric Garcia has been in top-notch form recently. In fact, given the Spaniard's rock-solid duo with Pau Cubarsi at the heart of La Roja's defense, reports had been suggesting that his return might force an exit move for Mika Faye.

Eric Garcia doesn't rule out leaving FC Barcelona this summer

Arriving as Bernal's substitution in the season opener against Valencia, the conventional center-back showed his versatility, displaying a nice cameo in the pivot role. Despite being one of the most brilliant prospects in the Blaugrana club's defense catalog, Eric Garcia faces an uncertain future in Barcelona's upcoming setup.

According to reports, Eric García's departure is not ruled out yet. Considering the club's financial woes, it feels like if Barcelona can't offload their unwanted players, Eric could leave the club. In case the possibilities of him making an exit move intensify, the player would be open to rejoining Girona.

Regarding the center-back's potential return, reports suggest that Girona will be waiting to see if they can sign Eric García until the very end of the transfer window. While a potential reason for his exit move might be the club's financial issues, it feels as if the defender doesn't feel himself clear for the starting XI spot.

In the backline bolstered by the likes of Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, and Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia doesn't see his place clearly in FC Barcelona's team. Analyzing his recent form, Eric Garcia would view himself as starting for a European side, and thus, returning to Girona could be his favorite option.

Analyzing from Barcelona's perspective, Eric Garcia's potential departure could prove vital for the Blaugrana club considering Araujo's unavailability till January. Considering the Spaniard's coordination with Pau Cubarsi, a potential starter for the Catalan club, Garcia's move can be pivotal for the club's first half of the season.

Therefore, we can't rule out the possibility of Eric Garcia joining Girona during this transfer window, despite the lack of further updates on his future.
