Aleix Garcia to Manchester City: Latest Transfer Details, Reaction and More

Manchester City have completed the signing of Spain under-18 international Aleix Garcia, with the teenager set to reunite with former Villarreal manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Garcia was one of the first youngsters added to Villarreal's youth ranks when Pellegrini took their helm in 2004, with Manchester City's official Twitter account confirming his arrival at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday:

Stuart Brennan of the Manchester Evening News reported the deal is worth £2.1 million and Garcia will link up with City's Elite Development Squad before attempting to impress on the senior ranks.

The 18-year-old can play on the wing or in a central attacking midfield role, not far from the mould of incumbent Citizens superstar and compatriot David Silva.

Before leaving El Madrigal, Garcia earned his La Liga debut for Villarreal, coming on for the final phases of a 4-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao at the end of last season.

Garcia has scored two goals in two appearances for Spain's under-18s and will look to show Pellegrini the kind of progress he's made since the Chilean first showed faith in him more than a decade ago.
