Barcelona has accepted a deal with Manchester City defender Eric Garcia to join the Catalan club in 2021, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
As a free agent, the 19-year-old is expected to join the team in the summer. Barca could also sign him in January, but for that to happen they would need to negotiate a payout with the English club.
It was previously reported that Manchester City is demanding €10+10m for him and has no intention of dropping the price of the player.
In the hope that City would reduce the price Barca’s plan was to wait until January, given that the contract between the club and the player is coming to an end.
However, it appears that Man City are not concerned about the fact that they could lose him for free in the summer.
Moreover, Pep Guardiola head coach of City does not want to lose Garcia in winter, given that City’s defenders could suffer injuries.
