)

According to L’Equipe (h/t Paris Fans), PSG have shown interest in Barcelona defender Eric Garcia, who is capable of playing both at center back and right back. The club are aiming to sign him on a free transfer next summer, though he has already appeared in 14 matches this season.

If negotiations continue to move forward before January, PSG could look to reach an agreement with Barcelona to secure the Spain international during the winter window instead.

Mundo Deportivo, however, reports that Garcia is negotiating a contract extension and wants to stay at Barça. Deco has met several times with Garcia’s agent to offer a long-term deal, and both sides are hopeful the discussions will lead to a new agreement.

The report from the French outlet comes after TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey revealed that Garcia has agreed to a new contract with Barcelona, ending speculation over a potential transfer. Tottenham and Chelsea had expressed interest in the defender but have been told he is no longer available.

Nonetheless, the Ligue 1 giants could be looking at another Barcelona player next summer. According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG have set their sights on 18-year-old Juan Hernández, one of FC Barcelona Atlético’s most promising young players.
