)

SPORT reports that Eric Garcia is stepping away from a potential move to PSG. He is close to finalizing a contract extension with Barcelona through June 2029, with an option for an additional year.

The same outlet previously reported that the French club are keeping a close eye on Garcia’s situation. Garcia’s current deal expires at the end of the season, which means PSG would be free to begin direct talks with him in January.

However, SPORT reports that Barcelona coach Hansi Flick remains intent on keeping him. Despite outside interest, Garcia has already decided to stay and sign an extension with the Spanish club.

This latest information follows TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey reporting that Garcia has already agreed to the new deal with Barcelona, putting an end to speculation about a transfer. Tottenham and Chelsea had shown interest in the defender, but were informed he is no longer available.

Meanwhile, PSG could be turning its attention to another Barcelona player. Mundo Deportivo recently noted that the French club are targeting teenager Juan Hernández, one of FC Barcelona Atlético’s brightest young prospects.
