Barcelona’s Potential January Move for Aleix Garcia: Formations to Suit the Girona Wonder Midfielder

Barcelona is reportedly eyeing a January move for Girona’s standout midfielder, Aleix Garcia, who has played a pivotal role in Girona’s surprising title challenge this season. The 26-year-old has expressed his dream of donning the Barcelona jersey in the future.

In the event of Garcia’s potential arrival next month, two tactical formations could be on the horizon, offering versatility to Barcelona’s midfield setup:

Option 1: Midfield Triumvirate Xavi might integrate Garcia as an option in a midfield triumvirate, providing a replacement or rotation for key players like Pedri or Gavi. Barcelona has predominantly employed this system under Xavi’s coaching tenure.

Option 2: Innovative Back-Three System Alternatively, Xavi could opt for a more innovative approach, drawing inspiration from Michel’s setup at Girona. This formation could feature a back-three with two wingbacks, where Garcia would slot into a midfield quartet, enhancing Barca’s solidity in that crucial department.
