Novikov: "Spartak" transfer of Garcia is an illogical decision

Agent Sergey Novikov emphasized that he was surprised by the transfer of forward Liviy Garcia from AEK to Spartak. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to him, it is incomprehensible that nearly 20 million euros were paid for the 27-year-old forward playing in the Greek championship. These figures are very high and their efficiency is questionable.

Garcia scored only 4 goals in 20 matches within the Russian Premier League. Based on this information, the club's purchase seems illogical.

Novikov also highlighted that Spartak has major problems on the wings of the defense. At the same time, the club is making unknown and ineffective acquisitions for the attacking line.

Spartak bought Garcia in February of this year. Since then, he has appeared in a total of 27 matches across all tournaments and scored 7 goals.

Currently, the team led by Dejan Stankovic is in sixth place in the Russian Premier League standings after 11 rounds, holding 18 points. This situation is an important factor in evaluating the team's results this season and its future prospects.

Spartak's defensive and offensive problems are negatively affecting the team's overall play and results. Therefore, experts recommend reviewing the team's collective play and transfer policy.
