"Both clubs were looking to add more quality to the defensive unit. Garcia would have been a quality addition. He is capable of operating in multiple roles, and his versatility would have been a bonus. The Spanish international has played in the Premier League before with Manchester City, and Garcia won the League title with them. Apart from his quality as a player, his winning experience could have been invaluable."
"The 24-year-old believes that he could be a player for Barcelona in the coming seasons as well, and he is hoping to win major trophies with the Spanish outfit. He has no desire to return to the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea and Tottenham decide to move on to other targets. They need to add more depth to the squad if they want to fight for major trophies. They will look to get back to the top of English football"
Eric Garcia has renewed his contract with Barcelona and committed to stay at the club long-term while aiming to win major trophies. Chelsea and Tottenham had pursued the 24-year-old but lost the opportunity to sign him. Garcia previously played in the Premier League with Manchester City and won a league title there, and he also helped Barcelona win the league last season. His versatility allows him to operate in multiple defensive roles and his winning experience adds value. Chelsea and Tottenham will need alternate defensive targets to strengthen their squads for title challenges.
