Barcelona in advanced talks with Girona midfielder Aleix Garcia

Barcelona are in talks with Girona midfielder Aleix Garcia.

Okdiario says Barca are closing on personal terms with Garcia's minders and are ready to make an offer to their Catalan rivals.

Barca want to sign Garcia as cover for ACL victim Gavi.

And they're willing to discuss a swap, with Girona's on-loan pair Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre on the table, along with young Barca Atletic defender Mika Faye.

Earlier this month, Garcia angered Girona fans by admitting: "I would like to play at Bara. It is the club that I have followed since I was little and the one that I have always liked."
