Eric Garcia has said he would play for Barcelona for nothing. Given the latest news about their finances, he may have to.
Manchester City's asking price for their 20-year-old centre half is in the region of £2.65million, or what they pay Lionel Messi for around 10 days work.
Either way, it is nothing for a promising young player who has already won the European Championship at Under 17 and Under 19 level, and has been capped four times by Spain.
Barcelona, however, cannot afford it.
