Fabrizio Romano claims that Bayer Leverkusen have contacted Aleix Garcia again in the last 24 hours to speed up negotiations to sign him. The main reason is that the Girona midfielder is very much to Xabi Alonso's liking and the board do not want West Ham United, who are also interested, to interfere.

Girona have completed a historic season that has helped them qualify for the Champions League, which has put their squad in the transfer window. Aleix García is one of Michel's key players.

Fabrizio Romano, an expert on transfer window issues, reports that Bayer Leverkusen, who had already been in contact with his entourage, have made a further call in the last 24 hours to move talks forward. The reason is that he is very much to Xabi Alonso's liking and the board fears West Ham United will move ahead.

The player has a contract until 2026. He renewed it in June 2023, so it will be necessary to negotiate a sale. The player has the possibility of playing in the UCL whether he stays or signs with the German project, although if he ends up at West Ham with Julen Lopetegui it would give him a better chance of being an undisputed starter.

Aleix Garcia already knew the Premier League from his time at Manchester City. From 2015 to 2017, with whom he got to take the field 9 times with a goal he scored against Swansea City in the early rounds of the EFL Cup in September 2016.
