Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is coy over January plans for Manchester City defender Eric Garcia.
Off contract in June and refusing to consider talks over a new deal, former Barca junior Garcia is being linked with a January return to his former club.
Asked about the prospect, Koeman would only say on Friday: "Eric Garcia? It's still early to talk about these purchases.
"Now we recover (Ronald) Araujo and (Samuel) Umtiti will be back soon, he has played 60 minutes with the B team and is close to the return, even if I don't know when it will be.
"In January we will speak with a new president."
