The 20-year-old centre-back has played only nine times for Manchester City this season amid links to Barcelona.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that not fielding Eric Garcia this season broke his heart.
The 20-year-old defender featured 20 times last season and won broad praise for the manner in which he equipped himself when called upon.
However, he has only played on nine occasions this time around, including only three appearances in the Premier League.
