Barcelona’s three players, who played a pivotal role in Spain’s Olympic gold medal victory, are showcasing their unwavering dedication as they prepare for the upcoming La Liga season with only a brief respite.

La Roja’s remarkable 5-3 victory over France in the final, marking their first men’s Olympic gold since their triumph in Barcelona in 1992, is a moment of immense pride and excitement for all football enthusiasts.

Despite the achievement, the crowded domestic calendar means their rest will be minimal. Defensive duo Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia have already resumed training, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Garcia’s commitment to the plan following the final and his expressed determination to compete for a starting position upon returning from his loan at Girona is a testament to his passion and drive.

Fermin Lopez will receive a short break after a minor role with Spain at Euro 2024, but the other two players had their rest before the Olympics.

In practice, Barcelona is expected to gradually ease the trio back into action, with their participation likely limited until after the September international break.

This weekend, a Barcelona defender who has been the subject of transfer speculation took the opportunity to clarify his intentions for the upcoming season. Amid ongoing rumors about his potential move, he addressed the media to provide a definitive update on his future with the club.

The player in question is Eric García.

The 23-year-old spent the past season on loan at Girona, where he regained his top form. García played a crucial role in Girona’s impressive third-place finish in La Liga at the Estadi Montilivi.

He has recently returned to Barcelona, his parent club, after spending time away. Despite his return, there continues to be considerable speculation regarding a possible transfer before the closing of the transfer window. This ongoing uncertainty is fueled by rumors linking him to various clubs, and the situation remains fluid as the deadline approaches.

This uncertainty arises from an external interest in García and a crowded defensive lineup at Barcelona under coach Hansi Flick.

Given these circumstances, it was hardly unexpected that his future was the topic of a media interview this weekend.

Furthermore, Eric dispelled any lingering rumors following his contribution to Spain’s gold medal victory at the Olympic Games.

“I will stay at Barça and play there next season. It’s 100%,” he announced to the media.”

A key La Liga giants Barcelona attacker has received a massive contract offer from the Saudi Pro League, a league known for its significant financial resources and competitive environment.

The player in question? Raphinha.

In recent weeks, the future of winger Raphinha in Barcelona has once again become a significant topic of discussion.

This heightened focus stems from speculation that the Brazilian might be sold to generate funds for securing his potential replacement, Nico Williams, a promising young talent from the Barcelona youth academy.

Despite the rumors, Raphinha has consistently maintained his position, stating that he has no plans to leave. He remains determined to prove himself at Barcelona and is as committed as ever to the club.

However, Raphinha’s commitment is now being seriously challenged, and his potential departure could significantly impact Barcelona’s attacking options for the upcoming season.

New reports suggest the winger has received a lucrative financial offer from the Middle East. According to insider Adrián Sánchez, the 27-year-old recently received a contract proposal from an undisclosed Saudi Pro League club.

The offer includes a salary three times higher than Raphinha currently earns in Barcelona.

It remains to be seen if such an enticing offer could sway the former Leeds United standout.
