Barcelona is allegedly reluctant to cash in more than € 15 m ( £ 13.49 m) on Manchester City defender Eric Garcia.
The prospect does not want to sign a new contract at the Etihad Stadium, while Pep Guardiola has recently provided the 19-year-old with incentives.
This has given rise to the possibility of returning to Camp Nou, where he spent most of his youth days before moving to England.
However, according to ESPN, the runners-up in La Liga and the Premier League remain very far apart, with respect to a ranking.
To secure a meeting with its former academy player Barcelona is only prepared to pay half of that amount given the allegedly looking for £27 m from City.
To prevent losing Garcia on a free transfer next year, City will have to reassess its position later in the summer.
