Victor Font, Candidate in the elections of the FC Barcelona, asked the club’s Management Committee to buy a Eric Garcia, Central of the Manchester City, For whom his sports structure would have already made arrangements for his transfer for 3 million euros more variable and with the will of the player not to charge until the end of the season.
“Our efforts allow us to understand that the incorporation of Eric Garcia now, this week, it is possible and the club can afford it financially. Given that Koeman and our sports structure believe that it is a fundamental incorporation to aspire to all the titles, we ask from here to the Management Board to make the decision to incorporate a Eric Garcia this week“, He said at a press conference.
Font, With homework done in case they won an election they should have held last Sunday –the new date, the final one, will be March 7–, he assured that the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola would be willing to agree to sell now to the player, Which ends contract in the summer and will not renew.
“the city would be willing to sell for 3 million euros more variable fixed. It is less than a third of what the Boat offered by the player months ago, in the summer, when he offered 10 million. Now we aspire for it to be for 3 million more variables, “Font reiterated.
In addition, he added that the ‘citizen’ entity would be open not to receive these amounts until next year. “We know that the player is very interested in the operation being done now, given that there is a European Championship in the summer. He could be willing to make an effort and not receive a salary by the end of the season.” , he added about Garcia.
“If we consider all this, the question is: Why don’t we incorporate it? The impact on the accounts of the Boat it would be virtually zero. We can’t hide behind the club’s poor financial situation, which is serious. But we are a football club, not a company, and there are no transition years and we have to have the best squad, “he said.

That’s why he threw a dart at his rival Joan Laporta. “Laporta explains that one of his goals is to motivate Koeman, but how can he be motivated if the only request he has and can be given, is not made. We demand, as a candidate, that the interests of the club be put first and that electoralism be set aside. The partner, we know, also wants to Eric Garcia“, He pointed out.
“The player is crazy to come and would come committed and eager to help, and Koeman needs it. I hope no one else gets hurt. It is our responsibility to look after the interests of the club, which wants to win titles, “concluded Font, who has no” formal offer “from the city but yes these advanced negotiations he asks the manager to do, with the winter market ending next Sunday.
