Spanish defender Eric Garcia has confirmed that Italian representative Como showed interest in him.
Idman.Biz reports that he spoke about this in a statement to the Spanish media.
In his statement, the football player admitted that he was quite close to the transfer. According to him, at a certain stage, the transfer to Como seemed real and the option of leaving was seriously on the agenda.
However, the situation changed after the game with Benfica. A conversation with head coach Hans Flick influenced the defender's decision.
Garcia said that it was after that conversation that he became convinced that staying in the team was the best choice.
