On January 17, 2025, a transfer news shook the football world. According to "AS", Juanpe, the defender of Girona in La Liga, is about to embark on a journey to Beijing Guoan, a Chinese Super League giant. And all this seems to be closely related to Girona's pursuit of Eric Garcia, the Barcelona defender. Garcia, who is regarded as a future star by Girona coach Michel, will make Juanpe's position in the team precarious if he successfully joins. This news has caused quite a stir among CSL fans. Guoan, a team that is always good at creating surprises in the transfer market, has once again become the focus of attention. However, this time, the reaction of the fans is complex - expectation and doubt coexist. Guoan's recent recruitment strategy has always been a hot topic among fans. From Engadu to Mamadou, Guoan seems to always find those "black and hard" powerful players in the transfer market. However, this time, general manager Li Ming made an unexpected decision: to replace them with Juanpe. Is this a wise move? To answer this question, we must first look at Juanpe's strength. In La Liga, Juanpe is known for his excellent defensive ability and deep understanding of the game. He not only has excellent physical quality but also has a profound insight into football. Such a player can undoubtedly add a touch of brightness to Guoan's defense line. However, problems arise: Can Juanpe adapt to the rhythm and style of the CSL? Can he perfectly integrate with Guoan's existing system? After all, from La…

For Barcelona, although they had a strong start to the season, they have been in an inconsistent state since the middle of the season. This has caused their previous advantage in the La Liga standings to disappear, and their role has changed from "leaders" to "chasers." Currently, Laporta faces a heavy task in this transfer window, not only needing to continue solving registration issues for players like Olmo but also attempting to strengthen the squad by addressing its weaknesses to help the team quickly return to form. In the eyes of outsiders, Barcelona's difficulties in player registration are directly related to the presence of too many "junk contracts" within the team. Many players no longer possess the level required to play for Barcelona, or there is a severe mismatch between their abilities and salary levels. However, Barcelona has failed to shed these "burdens," leading to the team's operations being in a difficult situation. Currently, it seems that Laporta has decided to take real action during this transfer period, truly expelling players who are not part of the team's plans. Firstly, there is Eric Garcia. Objectively speaking, Eric Garcia is not completely useless; at least during his loan spell last season, he performed well. However, after returning to Barcelona, Eric Garcia fell into a slump again, with a significant decline in various statistics, including a drop in average tackles from 1.9 to 1.1 times, and a more than 50% decrease in interceptions and clearances. With Christensen already recovered from injury, Eric Garcia has been listed for sale. According to Spanish media,…

The winter transfer window of 2025 has opened, and Barcelona's cleaning operation is also underway. On January 3rd, authoritative news from Cadena SER reported that Eric Garcia is about to join Girona for a total transfer fee of 10 million euros. The source pointed out that Eric Garcia will become the first player to leave Barcelona in the winter window. At the same time as Olmo and Victor are registered, Barcelona will also announce Eric Garcia's departure. Cadena SER wrote: Barcelona is working hard to register Olmo and Victor, at this moment, Girona approached Barcelona to inquire about Eric Garcia. Girona's coach Michel has an immense desire for Eric Garcia, with the player's transfer fee being around 10 million euros. "Sport" followed up on the report, stating that Eric Garcia is very close to joining Girona. This is an "unexpected thunderbolt" for Barcelona, and within hours, Eric Garcia's deal will be completed. Selling Eric Garcia can bring in 10 million euros, which is a much-needed financial relief for Barcelona. The 24-year-old Eric Garcia joined Barcelona on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2021. In the 2023-24 season, Eric Garcia was loaned to Girona, making 30 La Liga appearances and scoring 5 goals, becoming an absolute mainstay in the team's dark horse miracle. After returning to Barcelona, Eric Garcia did not have many opportunities to play, with Kounde and Inigo Martinez forming the main central defensive partnership. Once Christensen and Araujo return, Eric Garcia's playing time will be further reduced. Leaving Barcelona is a rational choice for…
