Xavi Hints at Interest in Aleix Garcia Amidst Barcelona’s January Transfer Considerations

In a recent media interaction, Barcelona’s head coach, Xavi Hernandez, acknowledged his appreciation for midfielder Aleix Garcia, adding a layer of intrigue to the ongoing transfer discussions at the club.

“I said I liked him [Aleix Garcia],” Xavi shared with the media. However, he clarified that he hasn’t engaged in direct conversations with Garcia or any other player. The uncertainty regarding potential signings in the current month was also addressed, with Xavi stating, “I don’t know if we are able to sign any players this month, but we’re always in contact with Deco and the president [Laporta].”

Reports suggest that Barcelona considers signing Aleix Garcia as their top priority for January. The midfielder’s release clause is noted at €20m, though conflicting sources suggest it might be €12m.

Garcia’s desire to don the Barca colors became public knowledge a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old has been making waves as one of the standout midfielders in Europe this season. Leading in goal-creating actions among players in the top 5 leagues, Garcia has showcased not only offensive prowess but also impressive defensive contributions.

In his 18 appearances for Girona this season, Aleix Garcia has notched up 3 goals and delivered 4 assists, further solidifying his credentials as a sought-after talent in the transfer market. As the speculation around Barcelona’s potential move for Garcia continues, fans are eager to witness how this storyline unfolds in the January transfer window.
