"Playing for Barcelona would be one of the biggest dreams of my life"

A few months ago, Aleix Garcia attracted a lot of attention when, in an interview before a La Liga match between Girona and Barcelona, he said that he would love to join Xavi Hernandez's team. His own coach, Michel, came out and admitted that he had made a mistake and that it was not the right time to make such statements. Some time later, it has been repeated, but with Villarreal's Alex Baena as the protagonist.

On Sunday night, after a hat trick of assists against Rayo Vallecano, the Spanish midfielder was interviewed on the 'Carrusel Canalla' programme on 'Carrusel Deportivo', on the 'SER' channel. First of all, he was asked about his termination clause, which is 60 million euros. "They have to talk about it with Fernando -the Villarreal president-, but I think they have to pay the 60 if they want me to leave".

As to whether his contract ends in 2028, he confirmed: "Yes". "The European Championship? Yes, well, hopefully. It would be a dream to be able to represent your country in one of the most important tournaments at international level and I hope so," he added. When asked if he would like a potential move to Barcelona, he admitted: " "Who wouldn't? I mean, playing for Barca would be one of my biggest dreams as a footballer. It's the best team in the world and who wouldn't like that.

He did say: "But I'm at the club of my life, which is where I started and I hope I can stay here for many years. Do I fit Barcelona's profile or has something approached me? No, no, the truth is that nothing has reached me. Both me and my entourage are focused on finishing the season, doing the best we can, fighting for a place in the European Championship and then we'll see. Insisted then on signing with the Catalans, he repeated: "Who wouldn't like it? I think that any player in the world would like it".
