Real Madrid is seeking technically skilled midfielders, and Aleix García, a 28-year-old central midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, is one of the players being considered. Other top clubs in La Liga are also interested in the 8-cap Spanish international. He was linked with FC Barcelona during the 2023/24 season, and Atlético Madrid made a significant attempt to sign him in January. García has confirmed that calls were made concerning Atlético's interest. The player has stated that he is honored by the interest from these clubs and believes his performance level is high enough. He also noted that the clubs might be seeking younger players. He has not excluded the possibility of a move to La Liga, mentioning that he believes the Spanish league receives more attention than the Bundesliga, which he considers a factor for his ambitions with the national team. In the current Bundesliga season, García has played in 20 matches, scored one goal, and has five assists. His contract with the German club runs until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €20.00m. It was reported in January 2026 that Atlético Madrid was willing to offer €25 million for the midfielder. García joined Leverkusen from Girona in July 2024 for a transfer fee of €18 million.
