Barcelona to make £14m bid for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia?

Barcelona are reportedly ready to make a £14m offer for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia.

Despite having recently been given a run of matches in the starting lineup, Garcia has informed Pep Guardiola that he does not want to pen a new contract.

With less than a year remaining on the 19-year-old's deal, it leaves City with a decision to make regarding the Spaniard's future.

According to Goal, Barcelona will hand the Premier League giants a chance to recoup £14m for the prospect in the coming days.

However, that approach is likely to be rejected by City, who allegedly want in excess of £30m.

Garcia has previously spent time in the Barcelona academy system, increasing the chances of the centre-back eventually returning to Camp Nou.
