La Liga club relaxed about Barcelona’s interest in star midfielder, no formal talks held yet

Earlier today, reports emerged claiming that Barcelona have set their sights on Girona midfield star Aleix Garcia as a target for the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old Spanish international has been on the Blaugrana’s radars for some time now, and it appears that the reigning La Liga champions are ready to make a move for him in the upcoming January transfer window.

The reports even suggested that Barça would be open to offering the likes of Oriol Romeu and Pablo Torre to Girona as part of the deal to sign Aleix Garcia.

Girona relaxed about the rumours

Despite the noise generated by the aforementioned speculations, Girona are very relaxed about the entire situation, reports Alex Luna on Mundo Deportivo.

The Spaniard is going through one of the best moments in his career and has been pivotal to Girona becoming joint leaders in La Liga this season.

Naturally, one would expect the interest from Barcelona to raise alarms and cause concerns, considering that he is such a vital part of manager Michel’s plans.

However, reports of him being linked to Barcelona have not so far fazed Girona, who have received the rumours with calm and tranquillity before the winter transfer window.

The Catalan club have not received any formal enquiries from the Blaugrana yet and are aware of the difficulty that such a move would entail in January.

Garcia has previously expressed desire to join Barcelona

Not very long ago, Aleix Garcia publicly declared his desire to play for Barcelona, claiming that he loved the club.

“Obviously, I want to play for Barcelona. It is a club that I love and have followed since I was young,” the midfielder said.

With the opportunity now likely to be presented to him in January, it remains to be seen if Garcia pushes to leave Girona for Barcelona.
