Saturday's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup: Eric Garcia, Erling Braut Haaland, Lionel Messi

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Barcelona on Saturday, January 2.

The January transfer window is now open, with Barcelona continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The future of Lionel Messi continues to dominate after he failed to engineer an exit in the summer, but the cash-strapped Spanish giants are understood to be considering reinforcements too following a poor first half of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news from the Camp Nou.

Saturday morning's Barcelona transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester City's Eric Garcia 'agrees personal terms with Barcelona'

Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia has reportedly agreed a five-year contract with Barcelona.

The 19-year-old left the Spanish giants for City in 2017 and has developed into a first-team player for Pep Guardiola's side, making 30 appearances in all competitions.

The Spain international has rejected the chance to pen a new deal at the Etihad Stadium, though, and his existing terms are due to expire in June 2021.

Garcia has been strongly linked with a return to Spain over the last few months, and according to The Guardian, the teenager has agreed personal terms over a five-year deal with Ronald Koeman's side.

However, the report claims that it is still unclear whether Barca will attempt to agree a cut-price deal with City in January in order to sign him for the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.

Garcia has made seven first-team outings for the Citizens this term, including three in the league.



Mino Raiola rejects Erling Braut Haaland to Barcelona reports

Barcelona have not already agreed a deal to sign Erling Braut Haaland, according to the Borussia Dortmund striker's agent Mino Raiola.

Haaland, who is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in world football, is believed to be wanted by the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid.

However, it was recently claimed that the Norway international would move to Camp Nou if Emili Rousard won the race to become the Catalan side's new president.

When asked directly about the rumours, Raiola branded the reports "fake news".

"This is fake news," Sport1 quotes Raiola as saying. "I have never spoken of Haaland with any candidate and I will not. When a new president is elected, they can call me."

The 20-year-old is unlikely to be allowed to leave Dortmund until the summer of 2022, when a release clause in his contract comes into play.

Haaland has scored 33 goals in 32 appearances for BVB since arriving from Red Bull Salzburg last January, including 17 strikes in 14 outings during the 2020-21 campaign.
