Girona’s Michel Expresses Concerns as Barcelona Targets Aleix Garcia: The Midfield Maestro’s Potential Move
Girona’s head coach, Michel, has shared his apprehension with the media, stating, “I have a feeling Aleix [Garcia] will not leave. It would hurt me if he left because we would lose our current level—not because he would go to Barca.”
Barcelona has reportedly marked Aleix Garcia as their priority transfer target in the upcoming January window. While his release clause is cited at €20m, conflicting reports suggest it may be €12m, with the possibility of Pablo Torre or Oriol Romeu being part of a swap deal.
In a twist of events, Garcia, a standout 26-year-old midfielder, publicly expressed his desire to play for Barcelona a few weeks ago, a sentiment that didn’t sit well with Michel.
Garcia’s exceptional performance this season solidifies his status as one of the best midfielders in Europe, leading in goal-creating actions across the top five leagues while making significant defensive contributions.
With 3 goals and 4 assists in 18 appearances for Girona this term, Aleix Garcia’s potential move to Barcelona adds a layer of intrigue to the upcoming transfer window.
