According to his agent, clubs in the English Premier League, Italian Serie A and the Bundesliga are keeping tabs on Javi Garcia.
The former Real Madrid has been the subject of intense speculation recently, as the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Juventus have expressed interest in acquiring his services.
Garcia, 24, has become a pivotal figure for Benfica over the past few months and his performances have not gone unnoticed in the rest of the continent. Primarily playing in the centre of the park, the Spaniard has shown great anticipation of the ball and
has used his passing ability to great effect.
A regular starter, he has cemented his place in the Reds line-up alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Axel-Witsel-c7029 and the duo have guided the club to an impressive run in the UEFA Champions League. The Lisbon giants have also been in excellent form in the Primeira Liga and they have
yet to lose a single game.
Currently they are five points ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 if things continue this way. Much of Benfica’s success is down to the way they play and their attacking brand of football is well complimented
by Javi Garcia’s stringent man-marking and selfless attitude.
Instead of taking all the plaudits, the midfielder is content with sitting back and absorbing opposition pressure and then releasing the ball to his teammates, who then lead the attack.
Manchester United, whose need to add a world-class player at Old Trafford is greater than ever, are allegedly keeping tabs on the Spanish pass-master and are going to make a swoop for his signature in the summer.
They are joined in the race to acquire the La Roja International by Arsenal and Juventus and the player’s agent has confirmed the interest from the clubs.
Speaking to reporters, the representative said that his client was on the radar of many sides across Europe but no official proposals had been made though.
"There are not, and there have never been, any concrete offers. But I can tell you that there are several clubs following him very carefully, especially Premier League clubs. Then there is also one Bundesliga and one Serie club.”
He also added that while there had been no talks with the Portuguese outfit over a potential move, if a suitor put in an appropriate offer then possibly a transfer could materialize.
"Nothing has been discussed with [Benfica] president Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Garcia Quilon was quoted as saying.
With the likes of United, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Juve on his trail, a summer switch for Javi Garcia looks certain to arise.
