Aston Villa right-back Andres Garcia is on the verge of agreeing a loan deal with La Liga side Getafe, according to sources close to the club. The 23-year-old joined Villa from Levante in a £5 million deal in January 2025 but has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Unai Emery.
Limited Opportunities at Villa
Garcia made just one Premier League start last season, which came against Manchester City on the final day of the campaign. He was substituted at half-time in that match. In the Europa League, he played only 15 minutes across the entire season and was an unused substitute in 10 of those matches. Across all competitions, Garcia has made just 18 appearances in 18 months at the club and has been made available for transfer this summer.
Getafe Move and Replacement Plans
Garcia is expected to spend the upcoming season on loan at Getafe, replacing Juan Iglesias, who joined Sevilla after his contract with Los Azulones expired. Villa have been actively targeting a new right-back in recent weeks, with Emerson Royal among several players under consideration. Flamengo are open to a sale and were in contact with Villa over a potential move last month, although it is unclear how advanced those discussions are now.
