West Ham is trying to derail Bayer Leverkusen's attempt to sign Aleix Garcia as they offer around 14m for the Spanish midfielder. Julen Lopetegui, the new manager, is keen on enhancing the midfield, with Garcia being a priority as his intelligent passing style aligns with Lopetegui's tactics.
Garcia played a significant role in Girona's Champions League qualification, showcasing his talents since moving from Manchester City to Girona in 2021. West Ham, transitioning from a counterattacking to possession-based play under Lopetegui, sees Garcia as a vital addition to hold more possession.
Despite West Ham's interest in Garcia, the club is considering alternative midfield options. Leverkusen's Champions League qualification and potentially better financial offers pose a challenge for West Ham. Lopetegui's current midfield options include several players like Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek, and James Ward-Prowse.
