Ronald Araujo was on the bench final evening and might make his debut for the membership this season both in opposition to Atletico Madrid or after the Christmas break whereas Andreas Christensen can be anticipated to return in January.
For sure, the return of the better-placed defensive duo will see Garcia fall out of favour.
The Spanish outlet thus reveals that his transfer to Girona in January is rising increasingly more doubtless as the times go.
In spite of everything, he was a daily starter in Michel’s aspect on mortgage final season and should properly want the common motion at Girona over the bench position he’s provided at Barcelona.
To date this season, the 23-year-old has featured primarily as a defensive midfielder however the return of Gavi and Frenkie de Jong noticed him lose his place.
Christensen’s imminent return additional reduces his probability of involvement because the Dane can play as a pivot as properly.
As such, Garcia, who loved his season on mortgage at Girona in 2023/24, could possibly be on his method again to Estadi Montilivi within the coming month.
