For the sake of Marcus Rashford's transfer, Barcelona is willing to part ways with Eric García
Barcelona needs to make a sale this month in order to sign Marcus Rashford, and the most likely candidate to leave the club at this point is Eric García. The defender, who holds a low position in Hansi Flick's team hierarchy, has attracted interest from Como and Girona, with the latter being considered the favorite to bring him back to Montilivi.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, negotiations are ongoing between the Catalan clubs regarding the transfer of the player. Girona is prepared to offer 10 million euros for García.
Last season, García was loaned to Girona and left a strong impression with his performances for the Catalan club. Since then, they have been eager to make his transfer permanent, and although a deal couldn't be reached in the summer, the transfer now looks increasingly likely to happen in January.
Reminder: Initially, Barcelona had planned to sell Ansu Fati, as Rashford could have taken his place in the team on equal terms. However, due to a lack of sufficient interest in Fati at this stage, selling García has become the most probable solution for the club.
