Aleix Garcia, the Spanish midfielder currently with Girona, is poised to transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that a verbal agreement has been reached for the move. The transfer fee is reported to be over €18 million.
Contract Details and Medical Examination
The details of Garcia’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen are being finalized. Additionally, medical tests for the player are scheduled for this week. This development follows the decision not to include Garcia in the squad for the Euros.
Managerial Influence
Xabi Alonso, the manager of Bayer Leverkusen, has been instrumental in the negotiation process, indicating the club’s strong interest in securing Garcia’s services.
Previously, Garcia was linked with a move to Barcelona, with multiple reports earlier in the year suggesting interest from the Catalan club. However, Girona had been firm on retaining him despite the speculation.
