According to the program Què t'hi Jugues, from SER Catalunya, there are Barça's new offer for Eric García, 19-year-old Manchester City center-back who grew up at La Masia. The Barcelona club puts on the table eight million euros plus two in variables for the defender, which ends in June 2021. The City asks for 20 million, amount that does not make the operation feasible. If the differences continue, Eric García will remain at City this season and will arrive free next June. The player has informed Manchester City that he wishes to leave. Guardiola has also increased the roster of centrals with Ruben Dias and Aké, to which we must add Laporte and Stones.
One of the keys for the operation to be carried out is in cash. Barça could get it from Todibo. According to ESPN, Fulham is interested in a signing that could move in figures similar to those of Eric García. Everton also asked about the central situation, but has not made any serious offer to the Barça club. The days go by and Koeman admits that they are very close to centrals. Barça's economic straits, without liquidity to face mid-level signings, complicate their last week on the market.
