Barcelona set to finalize Eric Garcia transfer ‘in coming days’

Barcelona will reportedly finalize the signing of Eric Garcia from Manchester City “in the coming days” following Joan Laporta’s arrival as president.

The center-back has long been linked with a return to the Camp Nou after his Manchester City contract expires and is fully expected to be part of the squad next season.

Catalunya Radio report that Laporta will finalize the defender’s contract shortly which should make Garcia the club’s first signing of 2021.

It was reported back in December that Garcia had agreed personal terms with Barca on a five-year contract after deciding he wanted to head home after four years with Manchester City.
