At 24, Eric Garcia, the Spanish central defender for FC Barcelona, is now Paris Saint-Germain’s top target, according to L’Équipe. The Parisian club is working behind the scenes to sign him on a free transfer in the summer of 2026, but hasn’t ruled out negotiating this winter if the deal continues to progress quickly.
« The club appreciates the profile of Barcelona’s Eric Garcia (24 years old, under contract until 2026). PSG is working to try and bring in the central defender, who can also play as a right-back. He will be a free agent next summer but has featured heavily this season (14 matches).
Given this situation, and if the deal continues to progress smoothly between now and January, could Paris try to negotiate a transfer fee with FC Barcelona to bring in the Spanish international (19 caps) this winter?
Eric Garcia’s profile (24 years old) ticks many boxes for Luis Enrique, who knows the player well. His anticipation, clean passing, and ability to play in a three-man defense make him a coherent option for the Parisian project.
According to L’Équipe, Paris plans to take advantage of his contract situation to complete a “smart” and low-cost deal. Barça, in need of cash, wouldn’t completely rule out a winter transfer fee. The January transfer window could therefore heat up very early between Paris and Catalonia.
