Levi Garcia has officially joined Spartak Moscow from AEK Athens in a move that sets a new transfer record for the Russian club. The Trinidad and Tobago international was signed for €18.7 million, making him the most expensive signing in Spartak's history.
The 27-year-old forward fills a crucial gap in Dejan Stanković's squad following the departures of Willian José and Shamar Nicholson during this transfer window. Garcia has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract that will keep him at the club until summer 2028, earning €2.5 million per season.
Spartak bolsters title hopes
Spartak Moscow finished the first half of the Russian Premier League season in third place, just two points behind leaders Krasnodar and Zenit. The team holds a slim lead over Lokomotiv and Dynamo Moscow, promising a thrilling title race in the second half of the season.
With Garcia’s arrival, Spartak gains a key asset in their push for the championship. The versatile forward was a standout performer at AEK Athens, known for his pace, technical skills, and goal-scoring ability. Russian media reports suggest that Garcia will play a pivotal role in Spartak's ambitions to reclaim the league title.
