Pep Guardiola confirmed in a press conference on Thursday that 19-year-old defender Eric García will not sign a new contract with Manchester City amid reported interest from Barcelona.
Guardiola said the club offered García a new, improved contract to keep him at the club beyond 2021, but the defender has officially declined the offer and is ready to move on from the Etihad.
“Eric has communicated to us he does not want to extend his contract with City. He has one year left and does not want to re-sign.
