Report: Barcelona priced out of January move for Eric Garcia

Manchester City are reportedly after €20m (£17.9m) from Barcelona for Eric Garcia, despite the teenage centre-back being out of contract next summer.

Barcelona have reportedly accepted that they have little chance of signing Eric Garcia in January after being priced out of a move for the Manchester City centre-back.

Garcia is one of a few confirmed targets for Barca boss Ronald Koeman ahead of the winter transfer window, along with Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay.

The 19-year-old, who emerged through the Catalan giants' academy ranks, is into the final year of his City contract and does not appear as though he will agree fresh terms.

Despite Garcia's contract situation, however, Marca claims that the Citizens are still after €20m (£17.9m) from Barca - half up front and the other half in add-ons.

Barcelona are unwilling to pay that amount for a player who will become a free agent next summer, though they risk being beaten to his signature by a rival club.

Garcia has started four games for City in all competitions this season and earned his first senior Spain cap in September.
