Barcelona central defender Eric Garcia does not want to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the January transfer window, according to MundoDeportivo.
Barcelona’s Eric Garcia does not want Arsenal move
The report in the Spanish news outlet has claimed that Garcia is happy at Barcelona and does not plan on a move to Arsenal anytime soon.
MundoDeportivo have claimed that it is the English press who are claiming that Arsenal are interested in the 21-year-old Spain international centre-back, who has a release clause of €400 million (£353 million) in his contract (Barcelona’s official website).
However, we think that the speculation linking Garcia with Arsenal came from Fichajes.
It was Fichajes who reported this week that the Gunners want to sign Garcia.
Strange rumour
We find this rumour about Eric Garcia and Arsenal really strange.
The Gunners are doing well at the moment and are looking very strong at the back.
Arsenal could win the Premier League title this season.
William Saliba and Gabriel are the two main centre-backs at Arsenal at the moment.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta also has Ben White at his disposal.
So, we do not think that the North London club need to sign another centre-back anytime soon.
