Last summer, Eric Garcia had proposals from Porto, Girona, and other clubs, but Barcelona refused them. Now, it's the player who says no to leaving.

FC Porto approached Barcelona in an attempt to secure the transfer of the Spanish international defender, either permanently or on loan with an option to buy. However, several factors prevented the move. One issue was the injury to Andreas Christensen, which permitted the registration of Dani Olmo but left the defense lacking in options. Additionally, Barcelona's failure to comply with La Liga's salary fair-play rules hindered them from signing another defender.
