Ezequiel Garay is being linked with Barcelona.

With Gerard Pique's season potentially over after suffering a serious knee injury in defeat to Atletico Madrid, Barca are in need for a new centre-half signing.

The January priority is Manchester City youngster Eric Garcia, but if terms cannot be reached, Barca are willing to turn to Garay.

The veteran Argentine is a free agent after being cut loose by Valencia while he was recovering from an injury setback over the summer.

El Chiringuito says Barca could offer the 34 year-old deal to June as cover for Pique.
