Barcelona might sign ex-Real Madrid centre-back Ezequiel Garay as emergency back-up

Still, the Catalans are more optimistic about landing Eric Garcia.

Barcelona and Liverpool consider signing centre-back Ezequiel Garay, as per Diario Sport.

The Catalans are reportedly looking for a low-cost alternative to Samuel Umtiti.

Garay is currently 34 and out of contract after a break-up with Valencia.

The Argentine played for Real Madrid between 2008 and 2011.

However, 19-year-old Eric Garcia is said to remain Barca's priority for the January transfer window.
