Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has acknowledged that the club are looking to land the services of Eric Garcia from Manchester City before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Garcia made his debut for the Cityzens last term and he has since made only 11 starts for the club across all competitions.
He has declined the opportunity to sign a new deal beyond June 2021 and this has increased the speculation regarding his future.
Earlier on Friday, Pep Guardiola admitted that Garcia wants to return to the Blaugrana, where he spent nine years in the youth ranks.
