Contract until 2029

Change fixed! Leverkusen sign their dream player

The ink is dry! German champions Bayer Leverkusen have secured the services of Aleix Garcia. The Spaniard will move from Girona to the "Werkself" for 18 million euros and has signed a contract with Xabi Alonso's team until 2029.

"Aleix Garcia is a player with excellent strategic skills, he is extremely accurate with his passing and has a great overview from the six-man position," said Sporting Director Simon Rolfes, delighted with the transfer. "He has leadership qualities that will be very valuable to us in the coming years. We are delighted that we were able to sign him, he is an important factor in achieving our ambitious goals."

Regular player in La Liga
Last season, Garcia captained Spain's surprise team Girona to third place in La Liga, with the 26-year-old making 40 appearances in 43 competitive matches.

"I admired Bayer 04 Leverkusen, as probably did soccer fans all over Europe, for their exceptional performances last season. I was thrilled that such a club did so much to get me. Now I really want to fulfill the expectations placed in me and do my bit to ensure that this team and the club continue to be successful," said the two-time Spain international, looking forward to the new challenge.
