Manchester City defender Eric Garcia has agreed terms with Barcelona.
Garcia turned down the opportunity to extend his contract with City and is said to have agreed personal terms for a five-year-contract with the Catalans.
Barcelona will first have to reach an agreement with the Premier League giants in order to see the deal materialise – as City rejected their previous offer of £9million last summer.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Barcelona are keen to complete the deal during the January transfer window.
However, should they fail to reach an economically viable agreement with City, Garcia could leave for free from June 30, 2021.
As it stands, Garcia has played just 200 minutes of Premier League football this term – despite establishing himself as a mainstay in Pep Guardiola’s team at the end of last season.
