PSG ready to offer €70m for Barcelona star

A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has emerged as a leading transfer target for European champions Paris Saint-Germain.

This comes amid the understanding that Luis Enrique and his staff have earmarked Eric García as the missing piece from the club’s backline.

PSG and Barcelona of course did high-profile business on the transfer front this past summer, upon Ferran Torres departing the latter for France’s capital ahead of the expiration of his contract terms in 2027. The Ligue 1 holders also snapped up Blaugrana sensation Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernández in January of this year.

And as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the French media is anything to go by, PSG’s Camp Nou shopping list does not end there.

As per a report from Le Parisien, as cited by LiveScore, the brass at the Parc des Princes are now expressing a keen interest in the signature of Eric García.

Amid a search for versatile reinforcements at the back, Eric has been earmarked as the ideal profile, with PSG ready to offer up €70 million to tempt Barca into a sale next summer.
