Atlético Madrid target Leverkusen’s Aleix Garcia as replacement for Gallagher

According to multiple reports, Atlético Madrid have targeted Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Aleix Garcia as they look for a midfielder to replace Conor Gallagher.

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Aleix Garcia is being linked with a return to his home country, Spain.

According to both AS and Bild, Atlético Madrid want to sign the 28-year-old and have made a €25 million fee available for him.

The La Liga giants see Garcia as a potential replacement for Conor Gallagher, who was recently sold to Tottenham for €40 million.

But with Garcia having established himself as a key player in midfield this season and on a long-term contract until 2029, Die Werkself currently look unlikely to let him go.

So far, however, Leverkusen have yet to receive an inquiry from Atlético, according to Bild.
