According to the Spanish newspaper 'AS', the renewal of Barcelona defender Eric Garcia's contract has been postponed for the time being, despite the club's desire to keep him in the team, due to the management's focus on completing other transactions and renewals that are of higher priority.

The club had confirmed about a month ago through Deco that Garcia is among the players Barcelona plans to renew contracts for, especially since his current contract expires in 2026, and the club wants to avoid starting the season with players who can negotiate with other clubs.

Despite the postponement of the renewal, the club's position remains firm in wanting to retain Eric Garcia, who has proven his versatility and technical value under coach Hans Flick.

It is expected that his contract renewal will be completed soon once the club's financial situation stabilizes and Barcelona returns to implementing the 1:1 financial balance rule.
