Barcelona urgently needs to sign Eric Garcia
Victor Font has again called on Barcelona to complete Eric Garcia’s signing before the end of the January transfer window. With no permanent president yet at Camp Nou, the Catalan club haven’t decided to pursue a deal with the Manchester City defender this month. “Barcelona are not going to win a lot of things right now,” Ronald Koeman admitted on Saturday. “Koeman’s comments show the complete absence of the sporting project the club has had for some time,” Font said. “One way to interpreting what he said. Within the limits of the possibility, would be to sign Eric Garcia to strengthen the backline urgently.”
With an injured Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti’s fitness troubles, Barcelona are pretty short in defensive options. Eric Garcia can be signed for free – but not earlier the summer. “Garcia is the signing that the coach and the sporting department are asking for because the Copa del Rey is getting to a crucial stage. The Champions League is coming, and Real Madrid are floundering in LaLiga,” Font added. “Between all of us, we need to help to have the best team to challenge for titles this season.”
