Barcelona will officially sign Manchester City defender Eric Garcia following the Champions League final this month, Mundo Deportivo reports.
Garcia has played just 205 minutes of first-team football this year, and manager Pep Guardiola has already confirmed that he will join the Blaugrana when his contract expires in June.
The Spaniard has agreed terms over a pre-contract deal, and it is now reported that the move will be formally completed after the Champions League final between City and Chelsea on May 29.
While Garcia is unlikely to play any part in the final, the Blaugrana believe the ‘most elegant thing’ to do is for the Premier League club to conclude its season before the free transfer is announced.
