Manchester City are looking at opening contract talks with Eric Garcia amid interest from Barcelona.
The 19-year-old has plenty of admirers at the Etihad Stadium and there is hope he will blossom into a mainstay of the team's back four in the years to come.
Garcia, who joined City from La Masia for just over £1million three years ago, is thought to be willing to thrash out fresh terms.
City are understood to have discussed the idea of contract negotiations before the coronavirus pandemic and it is expected those will still take place.
