“Our efforts enable us to understand the creation of Eric Garcia now, this week, it is possible and the club can pick it up financially. Taking into account that Koeman and our sports structure believes it is a fundamental integration to strive for all titles, From here we ask the management to take the decision to incorporate Eric Garcia this weekhe stated at a press conference.
Font style, with the duties fulfilled in case they won an election to have been held last Sunday – the new date, the latest, being March 7 – he assured the Manchester City from Pep Guardiola would be willing to sell to the player now, that the contract expires in the summer and will not be renewed.
“He city would be willing to sell for 3 million euros fixed plus variable. It’s less than a third of what the Barça offered for the player months ago, in the summer, when he offered 10 million. Now we aim to be 3 million more variables, ”Font repeated.
Moreover, he added that the citizen entity would be open not to receive these amounts until next year. “We know the player is very interested in having the surgery done now, bearing in mind that there is a European Championship in the summer. He might be willing to make an effort and not receive a salary between now and the end of the season., ”he added of Garcia.
“If we take this into account, the question is: why don’t we include it? The impact on the accounts of the Barça it would be practically zero. We cannot hide behind the bad economic situation of the club, which is serious. But we are a football club, not a company, and there are no transition years and we need to have the best team, ”he said.
