P.EP Guardiola has admitted that Eric Garcia is on its way to Barcelona during the summer.
The young person’s contract expires and Barcelona have not made a secret of their desire to sign him for a while.
Guardiola revealed he felt some degree of guilt for not being able to play him this campaign much after shining for it Manchester City last season.
“Eric Garcia is like a son. He was a boy last season who was our best central defender after lockdown. He never made a mistake and played in the Champions League quarter finals,” Guardiola said at his press conference.
He’s going to play in Barcelona and he’s not an average player. He’s a top player. He wasn’t selected in the last two games and it broke my heart.
“That’s why it’s difficult for all managers when you have a selection. You can’t imagine what it means.”
Coach from Barcelona Ronald Koeman urged the club to sign him in January, but his request was denied due to the Catalans’ financial constraints.
