Eric García continues to be a priority for the new Barcelona presidency. An ideal reinforcement at zero cost. But the situation does not seem as directed as a month ago, as announced Four. Mateu Alemany has already begun to make decisions as the strong man in the sports field of President Joan Laporta. He has got to work to reinforce the squad and the Eric Garcia issue was at the top of the list.
Barcelona want the footballer to return to the Camp Nou, and the defender is delighted that this is the case. On that side there is no problem. However, as pointed out Four, the agreement closed months ago with the Spanish central has now undergone modifications. The economic crisis is ravaging Barcelona and its treasury is not there to throw flowers. For that reason, The conditions of the contract with Eric García have been modified but downwards. That less attractive offer that stops the defender from taking the step. And that the Spanish international had rejected all Manchester City renewal proposals to return to Barcelona. Now the tables have been turned and the footballer hesitates to listen to other interesting proposals.
An economic problem that runs aground an operation that seemed very on track. And it is the first stumbling block to Joan Laporta's new project.
