Barcelona reportedly make an opening bid of around £7.3m for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia, whose contract at the Etihad Stadium expires next summer.

Barcelona have reportedly launched an opening bid for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia.

The 19-year-old is now in the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and has turned down the offer of an extension, but recently hinted that he would still like to stay at the club for another season.

However, Spanish outlet Sport claims that Barcelona have made an €8m (£7.3m) offer for Garcia, who came through the ranks at their famed La Masia academy.

Garcia left Barcelona for City's academy in 2017 and enjoyed a breakthrough season last term, making 20 appearances across all competitions.

Man City reportedly value the Spaniard at €40m (£36.3m) but recognise that they are unlikely to get anything close to that figure for a player who is out of contract next summer.
