Barcelona is in a difficult rebuilding phase this season. Koeman can only tap the potential internally when he can't bring in his favorite players. At present, as many as four young players have been hand-picked to the first team by Koeman, including Araujo, Mingesa, Pedri and Moriba. Especially after Pique was seriously injured in the truce, Koeman refused to allow Busquets to retreat and become a central defender, instead directly using the B team's Araujo and Mingesa. The effect is quite good, but after all, they are young players, and when they are unstable, the team will concede goals from time to time.
Therefore, Koeman has repeatedly expressed his desire to introduce Manchester City's talented central defender Eric Garcia in advance. However, after negotiations between Koeman and the team's temporary head and the three candidates, the preliminary conclusion is that they cannot bring any new aid to Barcelona in the winter window. The helpless Coman can only rely on his original team, but Eric Garcia is obviously more anxious than Coman. The player, known as the core of Spain's future defense, has a contract with Manchester City for less than half a year, but Barcelona and Manchester City still have to negotiate a transfer fee to leave. According to Barcelona's economic situation, it can only be signed directly after Garcia's contract ends.
Manchester City also insisted that Garcia must have a transfer fee to leave the team at this time. In this situation, Garcia, who belongs to the Barcelona youth training, is eager to return to Barcelona. The only way is to cancel the contract in advance at his own expense. According to a follow-up report by the Spanish "Daily Sport", Garcia decided to pay 2 million euros out of his pocket and negotiated with Manchester City to terminate the contract in order to directly join Barcelona in the winter window. He knows that as long as he joins Barcelona, he can directly become the main force of the team, better than sitting on the bench at Manchester City.
This situation seems familiar. In order to return to Barcelona, Fabregas paid a certain transfer fee at his own expense, and finally joined Barcelona to assist Messi. Garcia's approach is very La Masia, it is absolutely true love operation. On the one hand, it can perfectly resolve the problem of Barcelona’s inability to pay the transfer fee. On the other hand, Barcelona has finally ushered in the successor of Pique. Garcia is very eager to take over in advance. According to Barcelona tradition, Garcia's true love will be paid for by Barcelona. It seems that the only sign of Barcelona's winter window is Garcia.
