Eric García Agrees New Barcelona Deal, Ending Chelsea and Tottenham Pursuit

Flick’s trust in the 24-year-old has turned him into a regular starter.

Overview

  • Reports from TBR Football say García has agreed terms to renew at Barcelona, with clubs told he is off the market.
  • Chelsea held recent contacts and Tottenham made enquiries after the summer, prompted by a contract previously running to 2026.
  • The centre-back has started 10 of Barcelona’s 13 matches this season under Hansi Flick, often alongside Pau Cubarsí.
  • Ronald Araújo has recently ceded his place as García’s prominence under the new coach has grown.
  • Chelsea and Spurs are expected to pivot to alternative defensive targets, while reports indicate García’s new deal extends beyond 2026.
