Barcelona have reached an agreement to sign Manchester City defender Eric Garcia, Goal can confirm.
Garcia will move to Camp Nou on a free transfer when his current contract at City expires at the end of June.
The 20-year-old rose through the youth ranks at La Masia before moving to Manchester in 2017, but will return to Barcelona ahead of the 2021-22 season.
Goal has learned that Garcia’s switch to Barca will be made official before this summer’s European Championship, where he is set to represent Spain.
The centre-back has agreed to a wage 40 per cent lower than the club’s original contract offer in January due to the precarious financial situation Barca find themselves in amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Garcia has always dreamed of representing Barca at senior level and made City officials aware that he did not wish to sign an extension at Etihad Stadium at the start of the year after hearing of their interest in his services.Goal has learned that Garcia’s switch to Barca will be made official before this summer’s European Championship, where he is set to represent Spain.
