2 players Barcelona could use in swap deal for Aleix Garcia — Romeu one of them

Barcelona are exploring a swap deal involving Oriol Romeu and Pablo Torre to sign Girona's Aleix Garcia this winter, Gerard Romero reports.

Garcia's release clause stands at 20 million euros, so, naturally, the Catalans are aiming to sweeten the deal by including their players to offset the fee.

The 26-year-old stands atop Barca's wish list to reinforce the midfield, which has been weakened after Gavi's season-ending ACL injury.

Garcia earlier conveyed his affection for the Blaugrana, expressing a keen desire to wear their colours one day.

Leading in goal-creating actions and passes into the final third, Garcia is the backbone of Michel's team.

Securing the midfielder's services would be a significant boost for Xavi's team and could potentially shift the dynamics of the entire title race in La Liga.
