Javi García leaves Manchester City for Zenit St Petersburg in
a deal worth nearly £13m to end his two seasons at the champions, with
the Russian club hopeful of announcing his signature at a press
conference on Thursday.
The Spaniard’s transfer is for a fee of
£13m plus a further £800,000 in add-ons, with García having fallen even
further behind in the thinking of Manuel Pellegrini after the purchase
of Fernando from Porto to strengthen his central midfield options.
With
Yaya Touré and Fernandinho the established starters in the position and
Eliaquim Mangala’s £32m arrival this week as a centre-back - where
Garcia has been used in an emergency - the prospects of him enjoying
regular first-team action had been greatly reduced.
