Aston Villa have completed the signing of teenage defender Andres Garcia from Levante.

Spanish outlet Ufabet reports that Aston Villa เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย and Levante have agreed a deal for Andres Garcia worth €7m, plus €2.25m in bonuses and a 15 per cent sell-on fee.

Garcia has been in fine form for Levante, now in Spain’s second division, over the last two seasons, making 81 appearances and scoring five goals.

The 21-year-old right-back did not train on Friday as the team prepares to face Granada on Saturday as he travels to Birmingham to undergo a medical before signing for Aston Villa.

The decision to let Andres Garcia go has helped Levante ease their financial problems to some extent, having previously rejected an offer from Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon that was less than Villa’s.

For Levante, losing a player of García’s calibre is undoubtedly a blow. The Segunda División side had hoped to retain the full-back until the end of the season to bolster their promotion push. However, the financial package offered by Aston Villa, including the sell-on clause, provides some consolation.

As for Betis, their inability to compete financially with Villa underscores the challenges faced by Spanish clubs outside the elite. Sanchis noted that Betis had been banking on their project’s appeal and the prospect of a loan-back deal, but “the financial power of the English team allows them to carry out the operation under better conditions for all parties involved.”
