Barcelona focus on renewing two key players with contracts expiring next summer | OneFootball

FC Barcelona had a mildly busy summer transfer window as they brought in new players like Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford, and Roony Bardghji, while also completing some departures. Now, with the transfer window already closed, the Blaugranes still have some tasks pending.

As MARCA has noted, one of the tasks that the Catalans are looking to address at the earliest is that of the renewals of Frenkie de Jong and Eric Garcia. Talks for these renewals have been in progress for quite some time now, and these operations are developing well.

Barcelona do not want to lose any of these players, while the players themselves want to stay as well, especially as they have become important members of Hansi Flick’s plans lately.

Eric Garcia has been a regular for Flick since the start of this season, as he has played in all three matches up to now, both as a right-back and as a center-back. In fact, it is this versatility – he can also play as a pivot – that Flick values a lot in the Spaniard.

Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong has also been a fixed starter in midfield along with Pedri since the last season. This season, he has played two games, and missed the Levante match due to a personal matter. He is also one of the captains of the team.

Hopefully, Barcelona will be able to complete these transfer operations soon to ensure the long-term continuity of these important players.
