Konur: "Levai Garcia was proposed to Panathinaikos"

According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, striker Levai Garcia, currently playing for Spartak Moscow, has been proposed to Panathinaikos. The injury of Cyril Dessers is likely to lead Panathinaikos to search for a new forward, and Garcia's name has emerged as a potential option. Spartak Moscow appears dissatisfied with Garcia's performance since his acquisition from AEK for €18.7 million. Konur reports that Garcia fits the preferences of Rafa Benítez. Spartak is willing to consider loaning the player with a high rental fee and a purchase option, while also covering his entire annual salary, which amounts to €2.5 million. The 28-year-old international striker from Trinidad and Tobago has scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 18 appearances in the league and cup this season. The possibility of his acquisition seems to depend on Panathinaikos' financial capabilities and Rafa Benítez's desire. This news comes at a time when Panathinaikos is looking to strengthen its attacking line due to the injury of key striker Cyril Dessers. The case of Levai Garcia represents a potential solution, although it requires careful planning due to the high cost of the loan and his contract.
