"The first summer shopping for Madrid could be Uruguayan national team football player Pablo Garcia. It is speculated that the official transfer should be announced after the Copa del Rey final, in which on June 11th Sevilla's "Betis" and Pamplona's "Osasuna" will meet.
It is said that the royal club has already agreed with Pablo Garcia's club on the player's redemption, which should be around 6 million euros. Garcia himself has accepted the contract terms offered by "Real". Currently, the defender is participating in the 2006 World Cup South American qualifiers with the national team.
"Real" defender Roberto Carlos told the AS newspaper that he would be pleased with Pablo Garcia joining the Madrid team: "If 'Real' buys him, it will be great, we will become stronger because he is an important player. For a team like ours, his arrival will be a wonderful thing, as he can fill our weakest link."
"Maybe Pablo Garcia isn't a star, but he is very anticipated in Madrid. He is a top-class defensive midfielder. When I face him in games against 'Osasuna' or the Uruguayan national team, he is always a strong opponent," Carlos added."
