Barcelona are reportedly not prepared to pay £27.5m to sign Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia this summer.

Barcelona are reportedly not prepared to pay €30m (£27.5m) to sign Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia during this summer's transfer window.

Garcia, who came through the youth system at Barca, was a regular for City during the 2019-20 campaign, making 20 appearances in all competitions.

The 19-year-old has turned down the chance to pen a new contract at the Etihad Stadium, though, and as it stands, he will be available on a free transfer next summer.

According to Marca, Barca are keen to re-sign the youngster but are not willing to meet City's €30m (£27.5m) asking price for a player who is in the latter stages of his contract.

The report, meanwhile, claims that Pep Guardiola's side are still hopeful that they might be able to convince Garcia to pen a fresh deal in Manchester if he does not leave this summer.

The teenager made his senior debut for Spain against Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League on September 6.
