Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering making a move for Barcelona defender Eric Garcia this summer, with the North London club drawn to his technical profile and experience in English football.
Garcia, who has represented Manchester City and Barcelona, is said to be available for around £17m, a relatively modest fee considering his talent and potential.
Garcia’s Uncertain Future at Barcelona
Garcia’s future at Barcelona is uncertain, with his contract due to expire in June 2026.
The 24-year-old has made 33 appearances for the Catalan giants this season, but he is currently behind Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, and Ronald Araujo in the pecking order for a starting role in the middle of the defense.
Barcelona may look to sell Garcia this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer in the future.
