Pep Guardiola refuses to rule out Eric Garcia's exit to Barcelona

Barca, meanwhile, are yet to meet City's valuation of the centre-back.

“Today he's our player, on Monday finishes the transfer window so I don't know, I don't know exactly what is going to happen,” Pep Guardiola said of Eric Garcia on Friday, as quoted by Goal.

“I know he wants to live there, I know Barcelona wants him but I think there's no deal between the clubs.

"This is what I know right now, so how it is going to finish I don't know.”

Barca and Man City have been in talks over Garcia for the past few weeks. The Catalans, however, are not yet ready to meet the 19-year-old's €20m valuation.

It is believed that Barcelona have to sell Jean-Clair Todibo first to fund the signing of Garcia whose contract with the Citizens expires next summer.
