    Flick used Garcia in multiple positions in the 2024-25 campaign, starting with a defensive midfield role, which later changed to right-back once Jules Kounde picked up an injury. In the current season, he has started in all three of Barcelona's La Liga matches thus far.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to Sport, impressed by his versatility and his contributions with goals in crucial fixtures last season, the Blaugrana have decided to reward Garcia by offering a new five-year contract. The club were planning on the defender's contract extension since spring, however, they delayed the process due to their ongoing financial struggle. Barca, though, are expected to present the new deal by the end of this year.
