"It would hurt me if he left, because we would lose our current level – not because he would go to Barca," he added.
Barcelona reportedly consider Aleix Garcia their priority transfer target in January. His release clause stands at €20m, although some sources say it's actually €12m. Pablo Torre or Oriol Romeu might be involved in a potential swap deal.
A few weeks ago, Garcia publicly revealed his desire to play for Barca. His comments didn't sit well with Michel.
The 26-year-old is one of the best midfielders in Europe this season. He is the player with the most goal-creating actions in the top 5 leagues while his defensive contribution is also impressive.
Aleix Garcia has scored 3 goals and delivered 4 assists in 18 appearances for Girona this term.
