Bayer 04 sign midfielder Aleix Garcia

The champions of Germany and DFB Pokal winners Bayer 04 Leverkusen have signed the top Spanish player Aleix Garcia the coming season. The 26-year-old joins the Werkself for the start of the 2024/25 season from the surprise team in La Liga, FC Girona. The holding midfielder Garcia led his team in 37 appearances as captain to achieve a complete surprise by finishing third in the table and thereby qualify for the Champions League for the first time. Garcia has penned a deal at Leverkusen to 30 June 2029.

"Aleix Garcia is a player with outstanding strategic ability, his passing is extremely accurate and he plays with great vision from holding midfield," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes in describing the qualities of the right footer who has earned two full international caps to date. "Aleix has leadership quality that will be very valuable to us in the coming years. We are happy we've been able to sign him and he will be an important factor in meeting our ambitious targets."

Garcia, who scored three goals and provided six assists for Girona last season, sees the move to the champions of Germany as "a great thing. Probably like football fans in the whole of Europe, I have admired Bayer 04 Leverkusen for their exceptional achievements in the season just gone," declared the 1.73 metre tall midfielder. "I've been thrilled that a club like this has done so much to get me. Now I definitely want to fulfil all the expectations of me and make my contribution to this team and the club in continuing to be successful."
