Real Madrid’s Ezequiel Garay on Sporting Lisbon’s radar – Portuguese Super Liga news
Portuguese Super Liga side Sporting Lisbon have reportedly shown interest in signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Garay-c13071 from Real Madrid.
Garay could possibly land in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 for the upcoming 2011-12 season while Madrid have also confirmed Sporting Lisbon’s interest in their centre-back.
The Green and Whites have also revealed their interest of indulging some fresh blood into their squad for the new season. The 24-year-old has been the centre of attraction for the Portuguese club and might very well be departing from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 during the summer
transfer window.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international served a year-long loan spell at a Spanish club, Racing Santander from where he initially came to Madrid. Ezequiel was not able to cement his place in the Los Blancos line-up and hence had to go back to get some more football
under his belt.
The centre-back lacked first team football and was left a mere spectator on the bench at Real Madrid. Lisbon could bring the 24-year-old at Estadio Jose Alvalade during the summer transfer window which could also enable Ezequiel to quench his thirst for
regular team football.
The Argentine’s contract is due to expire in the summer of 2014 but Real Madrid officials have announced that the club could consider transfer talks for Garay if there is any decent offer.
The player, on the other hand had mixed feelings over this transfer news but it could be a welcome sign for the 24-year-old who has lacked first team football for quite a while now.
He has made 28 appearances for Madrid so far and has one goal under his belt in all competitions. In the ongoing 2010-11 season, the centre-back has managed just five appearances in all competitions.
He has made just two appearances for Argentina’s national side after making his debut in a friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Norway-c2974 in 2007. Argentina lost the game by a 2-1 margin. He was also a part of the team that won the Under-20 FIFA World Cup in 2005.
Sporting Lisbon are currently fourth in the League table with 42 points and have almost gone out of contention to qualify for the next season’s UEFA Champions League.
