Manchester City's Eric Garcia 'agrees personal terms with Barcelona'

Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia has reportedly agreed a five-year contract with Barcelona.

The 19-year-old left the Spanish giants for City in 2017 and has developed into a first-team player for Pep Guardiola's side, making 30 appearances in all competitions.

The Spain international has rejected the chance to pen a new deal at the Etihad Stadium, though, and his existing terms are due to expire in June 2021.

Garcia has been strongly linked with a return to Spain over the last few months, and according to The Guardian, the teenager has agreed personal terms over a five-year deal with Ronald Koeman's side.

However, the report claims that it is still unclear whether Barca will attempt to agree a cut-price deal with City in January in order to sign him for the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.

Garcia has made seven first-team outings for the Citizens this term, including three in the league.
