The Rise of Aleix Garcia
Aleix Garcia has established himself as one of the best players in La Liga since joining Girona.

Meanwhile, the player’s progress in the last few years has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Barcelona will be chief among his suitors in the summer transfer window, with the reigning La Liga champions keen on securing his services.
Barcelona Keen on Aleix Garcia
The Catalan giants hold a long-standing interest in Aleix Garcia, having considered signing him in previous transfer windows. But the 26-year-old has leapt to the top of Barcelona’s wishlist ahead of the summer transfer window. And a few reports have even suggested that Barcelona might look to sign him in a part-exchange deal.
Irrespective of the method of signing, the reigning La Liga champions need to initiate the move at some stage. And it seems Barcelona recently established the contacts to sign the 26-year-old in the summer transfer window.
Aleix Garcia has previously expressed his desire to move to the next level in his career. Joining Barcelona can help him do that, with the Blaugrana being the biggest club in Catalonia, his home region. It will be interesting to see if the Catalan giants can land the Spanish international this summer.
