During the January transfer window, reports surfaced indicating that Barcelona had expressed interest in acquiring Girona midfielder Aleix Garcia. The player has garnered attention for his standout performances in the division over the past two seasons, leading many to speculate that he could be one of the standout signings of the upcoming summer.
However, it appears that Barcelona’s pursuit of Garcia has hit a roadblock. According to Sport, discussions with the midfielder have stalled for several weeks. Despite Garcia publicly expressing his desire to join Barcelona, his childhood club, back in November, it seems he has slipped down the hierarchy of priorities at the Catalan club.
Reports suggest that Garcia has received concrete offers from teams in the Premier League and Bundesliga for the upcoming summer transfer window. Barcelona, meanwhile, remains hesitant to make any commitments until they have a clearer picture of their financial situation.
This uncertainty is likely to persist until Barcelona can generate revenue through player sales in the summer. Consequently, there is a real possibility that they may lose out on securing the services of the Girona captain. With Garcia potentially being considered as an alternative to Amadou Onana, or perhaps viewed as an opportunity rather than a priority signing, it would require a significant leap of faith for Garcia to wait for Barcelona, a club currently facing financial constraints.
