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.
Arsenal 'considering move for Patrick van Aanholt'

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a move for Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt.
Sead Kolasinac's departure has left the Gunners short of options at left-back, while Kieran Tierney's recent injury problems have seen Cedric Soares deployed in that area of the field.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta recently claimed that his club could be in the market for a new left-back before the end of the January transfer window, and Southampton's Ryan Bertrand has been linked with a possible move.
However, according to The Mirror, Van Aanholt has now emerged as a target, with the 30-year-old potentially available for a cut-price fee as his contract at Selhurst Park is due to expire this summer.
The Netherlands international has featured on more than 200 occasions in the Premier League but has found himself out of favour with Roy Hodgson's side in recent weeks, only featuring in one of Palace's last six league matches.
Van Aanholt has made 123 appearances for the Eagles since arriving from Sunderland in 2017.
