The FC Barcelona seems distanciarse of Aleix García to a pair of weeks for the closing of the season. Although the one of Ulldecona is one of the options that more like to Xavi Hernández regarding defensive pivote Spaniards, the negotiations with the Girona have stagnated in the last weeks, waiting for what suceda with Oriol Romeu and the footballers that the group 'albirrojo' decide to put in the market.

The ones of Míchel will contest the next edition of the UEFA Champions League, by which will look for to keep the base of the team that has made history in the 2023/24. Aleix Has agreement until June of 2026 and his exit could close by some 15 million euros, but the Barça seems to interest by a footballer of greater hierarchy. Besides, other teams seem had to bid with strength by the mediocentro of 26 years in brief and the culés have to expect at least until mediated of July to have sufficient financial margin to begin to move in the market.

The Leverkusen will go seriously to by Aleix García

In this sense, the partner and shareholder of the Girona, Iván Quirós, has filtered this Monday the presumptive interest of the Bayer Leverkusen in García. In accordance with Quirós, "treats of an important offer, with initial negotiations, but very directed between clubs". In principle, the Girona expects to receive some 20 'kilos' by the mediocentro Catalan, the one who would be the first reinforcement requested by Xabi Alonso to play the Champions the next season.

In previous weeks also has sounded in the surroundings of the Girona the possibility of traspasar to Aleix to the Manchester City, a movement that would close without difficulties considering that both clubs share proprietary. Pep Guardiola wants to reinforce the centre of the field 'sky blue' and the '14' would be an interesting spare for Rodri Hernández, but for the moment there is not any movement confirmed.

Joshua Kimmich, the priority for the Barça regarding pivote

In the meantime, the directive of the Barcelona seems to centre in Joshua Kimmich like priority to cover the place of pivote. The German has been one of the players asked by Xavi Hernández that the club has not been able to fichar in the two previous summers and, this year, the table seems served to negotiate with a Bayern Munich had to sell him in front of the refusal of the of Rottweil to renew. This yes, his exit hardly will close by less than 50 'kilos', enciphers that the Barça is far to reach for now.
