Barcelona are reportedly hopeful they can sign Aleix Garcia from Girona for less than the €20 million price tag that’s been widely mentioned.
Garcia has emerged as Barca’s top priority for January, although doubts remain as to whether the club can actually afford to do a deal.
Mundo Deportivo are now reporting that Barca think they could sign Garcia for €12m after finding out from Girona that his release clause is actually less than the figure that’s been reported.
The report also points out that Oriol Romeu’s original price was quoted as being €10m but Barca ended up paying just €3.
