‘He Could Contemplate Leaving…’ Report Reveals Arsenal Have Been Handed Major Boost In Race To Sign La Liga Star

‘He Could Contemplate Leaving…’ Report Reveals Arsenal Have Been Handed Major Boost In Race To Sign La Liga Star

Arsenal will have a good chance of signing Barcelona centre-back Eric Garcia this summer, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan publication claims the Gunners made an approach for the 22-year-old during the January transfer window but the defender rejected the club’s advances.


However, Garcia hasn’t been a regular starter for Barca in recent months and it is believed that the former Manchester City player has become increasingly unsettled at the Camp Nou.

With the La Liga side also set to sign Inigo Martinez on a free transfer from Athletic Bilbao when his contract expires in June, it will likely move Garcia further down the pecking order.

It has led Mundo Deportivo to report that “he could contemplate leaving” at the end of the season. With Arsenal still keen on recruiting the Spanish international, a move to the Emirates can’t be ruled out. We shall see how this transfer story unfolds over the coming days and weeks.
