Eric Garcia is staying at the Etihad Stadium

Eric Garcia looks strong and eager. At 18-years-old he has made his position at the Etihad Stadium more than clear.

According to 'Manchester Evening News', the defender has directly ruled out the option of a loan. He can't see himself anywhere but City.

Manchester City proposed for him to go out on loan in the winter transfer market. An interesting opportunity for the youngest players to gain experience in a different club.

But Eric Garcia has said that he is staying. The source points out that the player will have conveyed to the board his conviction that there may be a gap in Guardiola's plans.

City have several defenders out injured at the moment and this fact encourages Eric Garcia in a sense. He strongly believes that this could be his big moment to be in Pep Guardiola's starting 11.
