The Spanish midfielder has been a decent performer at the centre of the park based on his average of 1.3 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, 1.4 clearances, 1.1 shots and 1.5 key passes per 90 minutes in La Liga. He has even been accurate when distributing the ball from midfield, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 91.4% in the Spanish first division (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2026 which would make it tough for the Villans to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.
Should Aston Villa Boss Unai Emery Move In For Garcia?
Garcia can do a little bit of everything at the centre of the park. He is a good tackler of the ball and can make some important interceptions for his team as well. The Spaniard doesn’t mind clearing
the danger when needed and can even shoot the ball with venom from long range. Garcia has also got the vision to create some meaningful openings for his teammates up top. He mainly plays as a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if told to do so.
