This move is not just a routine renewal, as within the club, there is a growing belief that the 18-year-old represents a long-term investment, especially at a time when the youth setup is undergoing subtle changes. His importance has increased further following the departure of Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez, with club officials now seeing Hernandez as the ideal profile to step into that role and grow within the structure.

According to SPORT, Barcelona youngster Pedro 'Dro' Fernández did not train in the session prior to the match against Racing Santander and will not travel to Santander for the Copa del Rey tie. The 18-year-old midfielder will be unavailable and will not join the squad after it was confirmed that he is carrying physical discomfort that prevents him from competing at full capacity.

In recent weeks, in recent months, several Premier League clubs have asked for information and tried to probe the price of the footballer, whether he could be out or not. To date there are no official proposals.

At FC Barcelona, the loudest stories usually come wrapped in goals, assists, passes and flair. At a club shaped by revolutionaries and maestros of the game, the story of Eric Garcia has moved at a quieter frequency. That said, quiet, in Barcelona, can be powerful, especially when it turns into reliability. Once hovering on the periphery of the project, even sent away on loan, Garcia has rewritten his own status. His story at the Catalan club now comes wrapped in trust, when the manager keeps turning to the same player in the same stressful moments, and the team keeps looking steadier because of it.

Inacio has long been admired internally due to his profile. A left-footed centre-back with strong distribution and significant experience in European competitions, he fit the mould of what Barça's sporting management had been seeking. However, he was never considered an immediate priority for Hansi Flick, who had other centre-back options ranked above him for next season. Even so, the Catalan club viewed him as a valuable market opportunity, particularly because his previous contract was set to expire in 2027.
