Barcelona have been encouraged in their pursuit of Manchester City defender Eric Garcia.
After spending the summer trying to prise Garcia away from City, Barca saw the market close on Monday night with no agreement settled.
However, the decision by City manager Pep Guardiola not to include Garcia in his Champions League squad has offered fresh encouragement.
Garcia’s snub suggests he isn’t in Guardiola’s long-term plans and can start making plans for a move away.
Barca were expected to try again in January and the latest developments will only strengthen their resolve. Despite Garcia having less than a year to run on his deal, the Catalans are eager to bring him back to his old club as soon as they can.
