Manchester City: Fans beg for Eric Garcia not to be sold amid Barcelona transfer interest

A number of Manchester City fans have urged the club to keep hold of Eric Garcia amid reports of transfer interest from Barcelona.

After Spanish media outlet Sport claimed that the La Liga giants were considering bringing their former academy product back to the club, ESPN reported that they had made enquiries to the Premier League champions about the 19-year-old. The story was subsequently shared on Twitter by @City_Chief.
