Tottenham eyeing move for Eric Garcia as Barcelona stance emerges
Tottenham Hotspur could turn to Barcelona’s Eric Garcia to solve their issues at the back this summer, with the Lilywhites now ready to offer him a route back to the Premier League.
It is not surprising to hear that Spurs are prioritising reinforcements at centre-back this summer, given that Ben Davies’ contract runs out in June while Cristian Romero is thought to be keen on a Tottenham exit.
That explains why sources have said that Spurs are eyeing big-name centre-bacs like Marc Guehi ahead of the summer window.
A new update has now suggested that the Lilywhties may turn their attention to a discount option from La Liga to solve their issues in central defence.

According to a report in Fichajes.net, Spurs have now set their sights on Barcelona defender Eric Garcia after learning that an exit from Nou Camp could be on the cards for the player.
The 24-year-old has struggled for regular game time since returning from his loan spell at Girona last summer and it is suggested that he could be living out his final few months at Barca.
Several sides around Europe are thought to have been altered by Garcia’s situation, with Tottenham Hotspur named as one of the sides monitoring the centre-back.
The outlet adds the Spain international is considered an interesting option by the North London club due to his technical profile and his experience in the Premier League.
Tottenham can sign Eric Garcia on a discount
Fichajes also explain Barcalona’s stance on Garcia and shed light on why the club might have to cash in on the defender.
It is pointed out that the defender has only one year left on his contract at Camp Nou and that the Catalan club need to raise money to offset their losses.
As a result, they are expected to offload Garcia for a cut-price fee but the report does not reveal what price the La Liga giants will want for their academy graduate.
