Here is the latest from the Etihad on 15th September 2020
Barcelona confirm plans for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia
Barcelona sporting director Ramon Planes confirmed the club are looking to sign defender Eric Garcia. Garcia started his career in the famed La Masia academy before making the switch to Manchester at the age of 16.
Garcia forced himself into Pep Guardiola’s starting lineup last season, even starting in the Champions League quarter-finals. However, the 19-year-old has refused to sign a new contract at the Etihad with one year left on his existing deal.
Manchester City want €20 million for the centre-back but Barcelona have only made a bid of €10 million for the defender. Pep Guardiola has also reportedly considered keeping him in the squad next season and convincing him to sign an extension to his contract.

Patrick Roberts, remember him? Once touted for great things at Manchester City, Patrick Roberts has failed to work himself into manager Pep Guardiola’s consideration. Now, back in Manchester, Roberts is looking for yet another loan spell away from Manchester City.
Roberts helped Middlesbrough secure safety in the Championship last season. However, manager Neil Warnock believes he has players in his squad who can do the job that Roberts did last year, although he would like to bring him back to the Championship.
