West Ham expresses interest in signing Aleix García from Bayer Leverkusen

West Ham United have once again set their sights on Spanish midfielder Aleix García, now at Bayer Leverkusen, according to German outlet Kicker.

Premier League Move Back on the Table

The 27-year-old Spaniard, who earned five caps for Spain, joined Leverkusen after an impressive spell with Girona. However, his future in Germany is uncertain as the club looks to reinforce its midfield.

West Ham previously tried to sign García in the summer of 2024. Now, with David Moyes’ side eager to strengthen their midfield depth, the player has re-emerged as a potential target late in the transfer window.

Leverkusen’s Midfield Rebuild Could Push Him Out

Bayer Leverkusen are undergoing a reorganization in midfield, with Ezequiel Fernández expected to arrive as a direct replacement for Granit Xhaka, who left for Sunderland.

With Fernández joining Robert Andrich and Exequiel Palacios, head coach Xabi Alonso is set to have a clear first-choice trio. That situation could see García lose playing time and consider a move away to secure regular football.

West Ham Monitoring Situation Closely

West Ham’s interest has been reignited by these developments. Negotiations are still in the early stages, but the Hammers are prepared to step in should Bayer Leverkusen decide to part ways with García.

The Spaniard himself is reportedly keen to regain a leading role, which could weigh heavily on his decision before the transfer window closes.
