Deportivo Alavés has a concrete interest in signing Andrés García, a 23-year-old Spanish U23 international right back from Aston Villa. Lyon has also expressed a similar interest in the defender, and Elche is also monitoring the situation. Discussions with Valencia for a loan with an option to buy had previously seemed to be progressing well, but the talks have slowed in recent days as Valencia's coach now prefers more experienced players. García, who has a contract with the club until 2029, made 6 appearances in the Premier League during the 2025/2026 season. He joined Aston Villa from Levante in January 2025 for a reported fee of €7.0M, and Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €7.00m.
