Barcelona 'set to make LAST bid worth £7m for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia in January' in hope Premier League side will accept or risk losing him for nothing next summer

Barcelona will make one final bid for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia in January as his contract continues to run down, according to reports.

The teenage centre-back was a major target for Barca manager Ronald Koeman over the summer, but the Spanish giants failed to agree a transfer fee with City.

But with the Etihad club set to lose him for nothing next summer after refusing to sign a new contract with the Sky Blues, they may be tempted into selling, and Barca are ready to make a take-it-or-leave-it offer of £7million when the January window opens, as reported by the Mirror.
