Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte 'is on Barcelona's radar with Spanish side keen to reunite him with Eric Garcia' after signing Ferran Torres from the Premier League giants

Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up a move for Manchester City centre back Aymeric Laporte.

City manager Pep Guardiola is in the habit of rotating his back four and the 27-year-old has had to play second fiddle to John Stones in spells at the Etihad.

Laporte appears to have nailed down his place alongside Ruben Dias this season but Barcelona are circling as they are keen to reunite him with former City defender Eric Garcia, according to The Sun.
