Tottenham held talks over Alex Garcia deal

Garcia had an outstanding 2023-24 campaign, being one of the main driving forces behind Girona’s outstanding campaign, with the club securing an impressive third-place finish.

HITC claim that Tottenham had been impressed by what they had seen from the 26-year-old and had held talks over a potential deal.

The report adds that the likes of Aston Villa and West Ham United had also made advances towards the Spain international over recent weeks.

Bayer Leverkusen agree deal for Alex Garcia

However, these clubs have now received a blow as Leverkusen have allegedly agreed a deal with Girona for the player’s transfer.

The report says that Garcia was keen to play for the Bundesliga champions and that the three Premier League clubs did not stand a chance once Xabi Alonso’s men made an approach.

The publication adds that a switch to the BayArena is now imminent for the Girno star, with the final details now being hammered out.

This is a surprising update as there have not been really been too many suggestions in the British press that Garcia was one of Tottenham’s top midfield targets this summer.

Perhaps, Spurs just made an exploratory move to understand the cost of the operation.
