“Girona’s 26-year-old midfielder, Aleix Garcia, has played a pivotal role in their unexpected La Liga title contention, featuring in all 18 matches and contributing three goals and four assists.

His stellar performances have propelled Girona to second place in the league, level on points with table-toppers Real Madrid.

Amid Barcelona’s search for a new midfielder due to Gavi’s unfortunate knee injury, recent reports in Spain have linked Garcia as a potential target.

Speculations suggest that Barcelona might attempt to secure the services of the former Manchester City player during the winter transfer window.

When questioned about the possibility of Garcia leaving, manager Michel shared his thoughts in Tuesday’s press conference, stating, ‘I have the feeling that Aleix is not going to leave, but if he does, it would be painful because we would lose him.

While we may not be at the same level as Barcelona, we aspire to grow as a club, and players of Aleix’s caliber are crucial for our progress. Losing him would be a setback, but I sense that he will stay.'”

“Last month, Girona president Delfi Geli addressed the speculation, emphasizing the club’s desire to retain all their players.

Geli stated, ‘We want all players to stay with us above all things. I understand that in the market, there can be discussions, but ultimately, there is only one clause that can facilitate a player’s departure.’

Geli reassured, ‘Aleix is fully committed to the season and our project. He is content and will continue with us unless there are new developments. I’m uncertain about Barca’s interest, but he is currently our player, and that’s what matters.’

Aleix Garcia, when questioned about the Barcelona rumors during an open training session in December, remained tight-lipped, responding bluntly, ‘I don’t know.'”
