Barcelona are returning to the negotiating table for Racing Santander defender Ezequiel Garay.

With Gabriel Milito ruled out for six months due to knee injury, Barca are back in the market for a new centre-half and are ready to resume talks with Racing for youngster Garay.

Racing are seeking at least £10 million for Garay, who had agreed personal terms with Barca in January before the original deal collapsed.
