Spain international Eric Garcia will stay with Manchester City after Barcelona failed to meet their valuation with a deadline day move.
The 19-year-old was seen as a priority target for the Spanish giants but the two clubs could not reach a deal on the final day of the transfer window.
Despite being in the last year of his contract, City refused to drop their demands for a defender who was capped by his country earlier this year.
