Barcelona fury over Man City Eric Garcia swoop

Published on: 28 June 2017

There's a lot of anger inside Barcelona over Manchester City's swoop for Eric Garcia.

The Manchester Evening News says Barca are said to be furious that City have grabbed their exciting 16-year-old Garcia for £1.3million.

The teenager was being seen as the natural heir to Gerard Pique at the heart of the Barca defence but City seem poised to sign him after agreeing to pay his buyout clause.

The Blues are tight-lipped about any move for Garcia, but there are ructions in the Catalan capital after it emerged that Pep Guardiola was expected to take the young prospect away – aided by the player's agent and another Barcelona legend, Carles Puyol.

City are said to have offered Garcia a three-year deal on better terms than Barcelona could come up with.
