FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick shut down three potential transfers out as the window was closing, according to a new report from MARCA.

The most notable name was that of Íñigo Martínez, whom Flick needed due to injuries in defense. Without Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo, Martínez has become a nailed-on starter.

However, Flick also reportedly lobbied to keep Eric García. Girona FC wanted him after a very successful loan spell and it is said that FC Porto also made a move for him. However, Flick wanted him to play both in the center of defense and as a defensive midfielder.
