ARSENAL AND ALEIX GARRIDO TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are monitoring the situation of Aleix Garrido. The report also claims FC Barcelona do not have any intention of selling him. However, there is a chance that the Gunners might test the waters with an initial bid. This is also because of FC Barcelona’s current financial situation which has also not allowed them to sign Lionel Messi.
Hence, Arsenal will certainly fancy themselves, if the player gets available. The player has a 340 million release clause. However, Barcelona will have to sell him for less to improve their financial situation. Although, the Gunners have to also release that Garrido will prefer moving to La Liga clubs , as he is homesick at the moment.
THE PLAYER HAS NO INTENTION OF LEAVING FC BARCELONA
The report also claims that the player and agent is aware of the interest of Arsenal. However, Garrido has no intention of leaving Barcelona. The player is also aware that he is likely to get more game time with the team in the next season. Barcelona manager Xavi has also said that player should have played more games last season.
Barcelona speaking on Arsenal-linked Aleix Garrido last season said in an interview, “We would’ve called up Aleix earlier but he was dealing with an ankle injury,”. “Aleix is talented and can make the final pass, perhaps what we’ve been missing the most in Pedri’s absence.” Hence, it is clear that Xavi rates Garrido very highly for the present and future.
Arsenal and other interested clubs will certainly keep an eye on his situation. However, they also know that the financial situation of Barcelona is improving. Although, the Gunners also know that they already have young players in form of Fabio Viera and Marquinhos to play in the position.
