Spain international has rejected City’s offer of new dealGarcía keen to return to former club at end of seasonEric García has agreed personal terms with
Barcelona over a five-year contract but it remains to be seen whether he will leave
Manchester City in January after rejecting their offer of a new deal.
The 19-year-old defender, who moved to
England from Barça in 2017, surprised City last summer when he refused a contract extension, with City demanding a fee of £20m plus £10m in add-ons from his former club to purchase him. But with less than six months of García’s contract remaining, he is free to negotiate with overseas clubs and has reached an agreement to return to
Catalonia at the end of the season.
