The FC Barcelona has selected to several candidates to reinforce his defence, and Eric Garcia is the favourite. The ex of the Masia is the one who is better planted between the central youngsters that could mudarse to the City Condal, where look for to a player that accompany to Clément Lenglet and Ronald Araújo in a future no very far and that have capacity to relieve to half term to Gerard Hammered and immediately to Samuel Umtiti.

The last informations aim to that the culés already would have decided when will launch to by the defender, and would not be before the denouement of the Champions League. In the last months there have been contacts and will follow them having with his surroundings and with the Manchester City, but the respect commands because both groups are centred in putting in the final stages of Lisbon and first have to surpass to Napoli and Real Madrid.

The price of the traspaso is a more complicated question, because it is subject to diverse factors. In the first place, it will be determinant the posture of the Catalan, that has to decide if it prefers to dress again of Barcelona or renew an agreement that expires in 2021 with the 'sky blues'. If it decants by this last alternative the way will be fenced in until further notice, but if it convinces him the project barcelonista could play in favour.

Also it is necessary to take into account two recent precedents of the 'citizen', although they do not occupy the same place. By Leroy Sané asked near of 80 million euros, but after the crisis of the coronavirus tightened to leave to the Bayern of Munich by around 50. This same figure, and even 60 'kilos', demanded them the Valency by Ferran Torres, but the one of Foios landed in the Etihad Stadium by 25+12. The requirements have gone down practically to the half, and it is necessary to take into account that both are also young with some links that finalised in 2021.

According to the experts of 'Transfermarkt', his value of market is of 16 millions, by what the fork could situate in 10 and 30 millions whenever it do not decide to return to the Barça free. In the Camp Nou will throw to a side and the English will do it to the contrary, by what will touch to expect to a pact that could include some variable clauses. If all opted for expecting a year more, the mudanza would be to cost zero.

The City wants to include to Sergi Roberto in the deal

The City knows that it does not find in the best position to negotiate, but if it accepts to yield with Eric Garcia pretends to include to Sergi Roberto in the deal. The group that directs Pep Guardiola has not surrendered in the extension of the central, but if this said that 'no' and forced the conversation with the Barça, the 'sky blues' would try to take out advantage. After descartar to Nélson Semedo because the pact does not convince to all the involved, the one of Santpedor has planted the sight on a polyvalent midfield player to the that already enjoyed in his stage in the bench barcelonista.
