Eric Garcia has reached an agreement with Barcelona to return to the club after his contract with Manchester City expired.
Garcia turned down the opportunity to extend his contract with City and has instead agreed personal contracts for a five-year contract with the Catalans.
However, Barcelona will have to reach an agreement with the Premier League giants in order for the deal to be seen – as City rejected their previous offer of £ 9million last summer.

according to Italian Reports, Barcelona are desperate to end the deal during the January transfer window.
However, if they cannot reach an economically viable agreement with City, Garcia could leave for free from June 30, 2021.
As of right now, Garcia has played just 200 minutes of Premier League football this term – despite establishing himself as a top pitcher in Pep Guardiola’s side at the end of the season finally.

Guardiola was a little surprised when the 19-year-old announced he was excited to leave City – after joining the club from Barcelona in 2017.
‘He told us he doesn’t want to extend his contract with Manchester City, so he has another year,’ Guardiola said in August.
‘We wanted it but it doesn’t want to expand. I think he wants to play elsewhere. ‘
Negotiation with Manchester City is not the only reason Garcia has not yet signed his contract with the Catalans.
The defender is said to be waiting under Barcelona’s new president on January 24.
