According to the newspaper Sport on its front page this Monday, Barça will make a new attempt this January for Eric García (9-1-2001). Thus, he will offer eight million euros to Manchester City to try to take the center back in the winter market despite the fact that the new international with Luis Enrique ends his contract next June.
Despite being in full discussion about salary adequacy, The Management Commission chaired by Carles Tusquets has given the go-ahead to the signing of the central defender, who maintains the agreement that he closed with Barça before the end of this summer's market, which closed on October 5. Then, his representative, Iván de la Peña, came to be in the Ciutat Esportiva next to the president, Josep María Bartomeu, to finish closing the operation, but Manchester City closed in band.
It remains to know the response of Manchester City to the new Barca offer. If it closes in band, Eric García will sign for Barça for free next June despite the fact that Guardiola maintains the hope of convincing the player to stay. However, the signings of Ruben Dias and Nathan Aké have finished convincing the player to make the decision to sign for Barça. If it cannot be with this offer from Barça in January, from June 2021.
