Atlético Madrid has intensified its moves to strengthen the midfield, and the name that has gained the most strength in the last hours is Aleix García. The Spanish midfielder, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, is emerging as the main target for the colchonero team, receiving full support from Diego Pablo Simeone to expedite his arrival. The Argentine coach has demanded a reinforcement to accompany Pablo Barrios and Johnny Cardoso in the double pivot, showing reluctance towards other club options like Conor Gallagher.

Aleix's situation in Germany has changed drastically after Xabi Alonso's departure and Erik ten Hag's arrival. Under the new technical direction, his prominence has decreased, making his market value more accessible. Despite joining Bayer for 18 million in 2024, his valuation has dropped after a season where, although he had minutes (42 games), he was not a guaranteed starter: scoring five goals and providing four assists in over 2,100 minutes.

Atlético goes all out for Aleix García: the signing Simeone wants

For Simeone, the former Girona player represents an ideal piece. His ability to distribute the ball, tactical reading, and knowledge of Spanish football naturally align with the intense and disciplined style of the Argentine coach. It's no coincidence that Atlético sees him as a more stable and coherent solution for their system than Gallagher, whose adaptation to the role demanded at the Metropolitano raises doubts.

Aleix García has over 130 La Liga appearances, and his breakthrough with Girona —the club where he was crucial in their historic qualification for the Champions League— establishes him as a solid midfielder. The operation, although still in the initial phase, could accelerate in the coming weeks if Bayer opens the door to his departure. Atlético awaits him with open arms.
