Barcelona are set to announce the signing of Manchester City defender Eric Garcia this morning.

RAC1 say Garcia will be officially announced on Monday as a new player for Barcelona. It will be the start of a big week for president Joan Laporta.

Barcelona’s plans are to announce Eric Garcia on Monday morning and present him on Tuesday at Camp Nou with a press conference. After Eric, it will be Kun Aguero’s turn.

He is likely to be announced as a Barca player this coming week, along with Emerson. Garcia already admitted this Saturday that his arrival at FC Barcelona is signed and sealed.

“It’s a brave decision,” said the centre-back.

Manchester City defender Eric Garcia has agreed terms with Barcelona.

Garcia turned down the opportunity to extend his contract with City and is said to have agreed personal terms for a five-year-contract with the Catalans.

Barcelona will first have to reach an agreement with the Premier League giants in order to see the deal materialise – as City rejected their previous offer of £9million last summer.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports Barcelona are keen to complete the deal during the January transfer window.

However, should they fail to reach an economically viable agreement with City, Garcia could leave for free from June 30, 2021.

As it stands, Garcia has played just 200 minutes of Premier League football this term – despite establishing himself as a mainstay in Pep Guardiola’s team at the end of last season.
