Eric Garcia explains decision to move to Girona on loan from Barcelona

Eric Garcia has spoken about his decision to leave Barcelona and sign for Girona on a season-long loan.

The defender has moved on after struggling for game time at Barcelona. Xavi reportedly wanted him to stay but Eric was keen for regular minutes.

He says he made the move because he wants to be playing and also because Girona “almost feels like home.”

“I’m really excited, really. I think it can be a very good season for me. I will try to help a team as much as possible, last season they had a great season and played good football.
