The 26-year-old captain of the Catalan club, Aleix Garcia, has officially become a player for the Spanish champions.
Girona have started to lose players from their squad after a sensational 2023/24 season. One of the leaders and captain Aleisha Garcia was the first to leave the team.
The 26-year-old Spanish midfielder officially joined last season’s German football sensation Bayer Leverkusen.
Note that Garcia left the Catalan club after the last three seasons. The football player’s contract with the pharmaceuticals will last until the summer of 2029.
The amount of the transfer has not been officially announced, but well-known insider Fabrizio Romano reported that the German club paid Girona 18 million euros.
“Like football fans all over Europe, I admired Bayer Leverkusen for their outstanding performances last season I am glad that such a club did so much to get me,” commented Aleix on his transfer.
