Eric Garcia has been linked quite a lot with Barcelona in recent weeks, with many reports suggesting that a move might be close.

A product of La Masia, Barcelona's famed youth academy, Garcia moved to Manchester City in 2017. The 19-year old made his debut for the club in 2018, before enjoying a breakthrough campaign last season. Garcia made 20 appearances in all competitions last season.

With just a year left in his contract, Barcelona could get the player for a resaonable price. The centre-back is said to be interested in a return to Spain, with Barcelona trying to find a way to bring the player back.


#1 DONNY van de BEEK, AJAX

Rumoured to the primary transfer target for Ronald Koeman, Donny van de Beek could very well be on his way to Camp Nou soon.

A central midfielder with a good engine and eye for goal, van de Beek has been linked to some of the biggest clubs in Europe, with Manchester United and Real Madrid in particular said to be extremely interested. The presence of former Netherlands manager Koeman at Barcelona could turn the tide however.

The 23-year old is a regular starter for Ajax as well as the Netherlands, with Koeman said to be a fan of the player. With Barcelona's midfield lacking someone with van de Beek's skill-set, a move would make sense for all parties concerned.
