FC Barcelona is prioritizing long-term stability. Since Eric Garcia’s current agreement expires in June 2026, resolving his future became a priority by January. Following other recent extensions, the sporting director actively negotiated with Iván de la Peña, the defender's agent, to finalize a deal.
According to reports from 'Mundo Deportivo', they have successfully reached an accord, meaning Garcia will sign a fresh long-term contract with FC Barcelona. This significant new extension keeps him at the club until June 2031. Previously, Deco implied that only minor details were missing. Currently, only the formal statement is pending. Reports suggest this official confirmation will arrive by the middle of next week.
Garcia has proven indispensable for Hansi Flick this season. Amidst numerous squad injuries, he has played variously as a capable center-back, full-back, and defensive midfielder. Delivering consistent displays, the player provides vital reliability and possesses essential leadership experience within the squad's structure.
