Eric García is, since last summer, the obsession of FC Barcelona to strengthen the defense. After training in Masia, He went to Manchester City, club where he became an important player but with which his contract ends in June 2021. At 19, the Catalan body considers him a priority and, after his arrival in October has been frustrated, a new attempt will be forged in January .
Ronald Koeman It is clear to him: the serious injury of Gerard Piqué leaves the defense in the area and, despite the good performance of Óscar Mingueza, he wants to cover his back with another power plant in winter. The problem is that Manchester City are still in the balance to hold Eric García to try to get him to renew and, although the latter is next to impossible, it seems difficult for the Catalan to arrive before the summer.
This is why FC Barcelona has prepared several alternatives revealed by the “Mundo Deportivo”. although the Management fee chaired by Carles Tusquets It does not appear that the final decision on the signature will be made, the technical secretariat led by Ramon Planes works to present a report on possible operations to the president-elect in January, while Ronald Koeman calls for reinforcements.

The return of Todibo, third alternative
