Mini bio
How it started.
Eric grew up in Martorell and joined Barça Escola in 2008. He developed through Barcelona’s youth teams before moving to Manchester City in 2017. At City he captained the under-18s and earned a first senior start against Leicester in December 2018.
Finding his place.
He returned to Barcelona in 2021. A 2023/24 loan at Girona brought regular football and helped the club qualify for the Champions League. Back at Barça, he became a flexible option for Hansi Flick at centre back, right back and in midfield.
Giving something back.
In 2026 Eric became an ambassador for Fundació Barça Genuine and attended the opening of a Cruyff Court bearing his name in Martorell. Both projects connect his football career with opportunities for others to enjoy the sport.
