Barcelona looking for three-way swap deal with Manchester City – Agent contacted

Barcelona are reportedly are not in a position to "pay too much money" to Manchester City to sign Eric Garcia. Therefore, they are ready to offer a three-way swap deal involving the Spaniard and the Portuguese duo of Joao Cancelo and Nelson Semedo, according to Sport. Garcia has a year left on his contract with Pep Guardiola’s side, and Barca’s intention is to either sign him this summer or take the centre-back on a free transfer in 2021. Barca have already held talks with Jorge Mendes to figure out if the two clubs can agree an operation without money being involved. The Catalan club are of the belief Semedo’s valuation is higher than that of Cancelo, and their idea is to send the former to the Etihad, and have his compatriot and García in return. Sport claims the three-way exchange operation will be studied in detail in the coming weeks. Manchester City and Barca are still in the Champions League and they don’t want any negotiations to have an impact on the trio’s performances in the European competition. Source: Sportswitness
