Girona are reportedly looking to sign the Barcelona trio of goalkeeper Inaki Pena, Eric Garcia and Alex Valle. After a breakout La Liga campaign last term, finishing third, Girona are struggling in 14th at the moment.
Nevertheless, they are planning to raid the Camp Nou for the aforementioned trio. Among them, centre-back Garcia was on loan at Girona last season before returning to his parent club in the summer. The 24-year-old has scored thrice and assisted once in 26 outings across competitions this season for Barca.
Meanwhile, Pena, 26, has played 22 times across competitions this season, keeping six clean sheets. Four of them have come in 15 outings in La Liga, where Hansi Flick's side are atop the pile after 26 games, ahead of holders Real Madrid on goal difference and with a game in hand.
