Eric Garcia due bumper Man City pay-rise

Eric Garcia is set to land a bumper pay-rise at Manchester City.

The Sun says City are set to hand Garcia a new five-year deal in the coming weeks.

The 18-year-old made his first start in the Champions League in their 4-1 win at away at Dinamo Zagreb earlier this week.

The central defender has already made five appearances this season after breaking into Pep Guardiola's first-team plans.

And City want to tie him down with a long-term contract, with an increase on his £10,000-a-week terms.

It is understood he will head towards the £25,000-a-week mark, to be on par with fellow academy graduate Phil Foden.
