Manchester City defender Eric Garcia expects to stay with the club this new season.
The teen doesn't believe he'll be allowed to leave on-loan.
Garcia said, "This preseason I started with them (first team) and in theory the intention is that this year I train with them and will play if I do well. If not, I'll play for the reserves so as not to lose match rhythm."
Garcia was taken from Barcelona to City by his agents and Blaugrana greats Carles Puyol and Ivan de la Pena and the defender stays in touch with the latter.
"When I finish I speak with my father and my representative (De la Peña) to assess how they have seen my games, because from television it looks different," he added.
