Girona doesn't want to release their leader to Barcelona during the winter

Girona doesn't plan to release Aleix Garcia to Barcelona this winter, as reported by Marca. According to the source, the club aims to retain the player at least until the end of the season.

Despite a clause in the defender's contract allowing a release for €20 million, financial struggles at the Spanish champions complicate the acquisition, despite initial contact for a potential transfer.

It's highlighted that the main surprise of the current La Liga season is reluctant to part ways with any key players. Girona intends to maintain the current squad until summer.

This season, Aleix Garcia has played 18 matches, scored 3 goals, and provided 4 assists. Girona's next match is scheduled for January 3rd against Atletico Madrid.
