According to Mundo Deportivo, the 23-year-old was not part of the plans of former Blaugrana coach Xavi, but Hansi Flick does not intend to return him to the squad. The clubs are negotiating a transfer, and the player himself is ready for such a step.

Last season, Erik Garcia was on loan at the sensational Girona, which reached the Champions League for the first time in history. Garcia was a key player for Girona and was one of the three candidates for the title of the best player of the season according to the results of the fans' vote.
