Eric Garcia's move to Barcelona will be announced at the end of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The La Masia graduate's contract with Manchester City expires in June. Garcia signed a pre-contract agreement with the Catalans in December as he only wanted to join his boyhood club, Romano adds.
Eric will join Barca on a five-year deal that will keep him at Camp Nou until 2026.
