Valued at 16 million euros by the specialized website Transfermarkt, there will be a lot of talk about the price of Eric García in the coming weeks. Guardiola's words at the previous press conference against Madrid, revealing that the player has refused to extend his contract with Manchester City, confirm that the footballer's real will is to return to Barcelona, club he left in 2017 to continue training at the citizen academy.
It remains to be seen now what the road map will be for the return of the 19-year-old central, that this course had already had some prominence with the first team, to the point of playing 13 Premier League games. Eric García has only one year left on his contract, so that if the City is interested in depositing money for the player, it will have to agree with Barcelona on the amounts.
Although the footballer is comfortable at City, where he has been treated exquisitely in his years with the club, the decision to try to return to Barça is purely personal. The challenge of repeating, if possible, Piqué's journey, is an incentive for a boy from La Masia who wants to return home. Barça sources consulted with As insist that the priority today is to focus on the Champions and that, when this ends for Barça, if it could be on August 23 in the final, there will be plenty of time to talk about Eric García.
