Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has revealed that the Catalan giants will sign Eric Garcia this summer if they are unable to complete a deal during the January transfer window.
The centre-back's contract at Manchester City is due to expire at the end of June, and he has been strongly linked with a return to Camp Nou over the last few months.
Barca face a race against the clock to secure a deal for the 20-year-old before the January transfer window closes for business, but Koeman has confirmed that the Spain international will be returning in 2021, even if the club have to wait until the end of the campaign.
"We already know he (Garcia) will probably arrive in the summer. If it's not possible this January, then we'll accept it and move on," Koeman told reporters.
Garcia initially left Barca for the Etihad Stadium in 2017 and has made 31 appearances for the Citizens, including eight outings in all competitions during the 2020-21 campaign.
The Spaniard has also recently been linked with a move to Arsenal.
