MANCHESTER CITY centre-back Eric Garcia is tipped to rejoin Barcelona and play for NOTHING until the summer.
Nou Camp presidential candidate Victor Font also believes City will accept just £2.65million for the four-cap Spain star, 20.

Arsenal also fancy Garcia as Etihad chief Pep Guardiola continues to pick resurgent John Stones and £65m Ruben Dias ahead of him.
But Garcia reportedly still favours returning to cash-strapped Barca, four years after leaving as a star academy product.
TalkSPORT quote Font as saying: “Eric Garcia is ready to make an effort [to leave City this month] and not be paid this season
“The movements we have made lead us to understand that the signing is possible now, the club can manage it financially.
“Ronald Koeman and our sporting structure consider his signing fundamental to aspire to win titles this season.
“So we ask the managing committee to sign Eric this week.

“Why not sign him? If he’s ready to not be paid this season… City will accept €3 million plus variables.
“How do we motivate Koeman if the only request he’s made is denied?”
Garcia is thought to have rejected an extension to his City contract, which expires in June.
