Confirmed: Eric Garcia rejects Manchester City contract renewal, Barca talks ongoing

Eric Garcia announced to us he doesn't want to extend his contract with Man City.

He has one more year and then after that, he doesn't want to extend. We wanted to but he doesn't want to," Pep Guardiola has just announced during the pre-match press conference.

On the promising centre-back's future, the coach added: "We imagine he wants to play in another place."

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has quickly confirmed that the wonderkid defender prioritizes Barcelona and already in talks with the ex-club.

The former La Masia star has a contract until 2021 which means he could return to the Catalans for free already next year.

Dubbed as the next Gerard Pique, the centre-back has made 19 first-team appearances this season, averaging 1.4 interceptions and 2.4 clearances per game.
