Panathinaikos and Spartak are approaching a loan deal for Levi Garcia:
According to Championat.
Background
Ливай Гарсия has been playing for Spartak Moscow since 2025 and has played 33 official matches in the 2025/2026 season, providing seven goals and five assists. Its current market value is estimated at approximately €7 million, which is an important factor in the negotiations regarding the lease and possible purchase option.
Why this matters
The negotiations between Panathinaikos and Spartak regarding the loan of Ливай Гарсия are crucial for both clubs. For Panathinaikos, the arrival of the attacker could strengthen their quest for success in the Greek Super League, while Spartak will hope to benefit financially from the loan deal. The outcome of these discussions could also influence the transfer strategies of both clubs in the future.

Panathinaikos and Spartak Moscow are in advanced discussions about the temporary arrival of Levi Garcia. The Greek top club wants to rent the attacker for a year and negotiations are in the final phase, Only Pao reports. Two issues are still holding up the deal: the exact details of the purchase option and the amount of the rental compensation.
The core of the first point is the purchase option that must accompany the rental. Panathinaikos does not want to commit to a purchase by summer 2027, but is committed to a non-mandatory option. Both clubs are discussing the transfer fee set out in that clause. Spartak understands that an amount comparable to the sum for which Garcia was brought in at the time (around € 18.7 million) is unrealistic. At the same time, Muscovites are trying to get the price as high as possible within the current market context. There is no final agreement on this part yet.
The second negotiation point concerns the compensation for the rental period. Although Spartak initially did not ask for compensation, an amount of approximately € 1 million has now been put on the table. Despite these latest details, the deal is described as 'close' by sources involved in the negotiations.

Garcia has been playing for Spartak since 2025. In the 2025/2026 season, the attacker made 33 official appearances for the red and white, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. According to figures from Transfermarkt, his current market value is around €7 million. This valuation often forms a frame of reference for clubs when determining a realistic purchase option in a rental structure, although the final sum remains a matter of negotiation and club-specific interests.
For Panathinaikos, the arrival of Garcia would mean a targeted quality boost for the vanguard heading into the new season. For Spartak, a rental deal with an option offers the opportunity to create salary space and at the same timeto keep the perspective of a later (partial) return, if the player in Athens joins in sportingly and increases his value.
Once agreement has been reached on the form of the purchase option and the rental compensation, the parties can complete the final formalities. Until then, it remains to be seen whether the Greeks will get their way with a non-mandatory option and at what level the final amounts will be fixed. It is clear that both clubs intend to close the deal quickly, with Only Pao as a source that qualifies the talks as 'in the final phase'.

What's happening now
If negotiations are successfully completed, Ливай Гарсия can quickly join Panathinaikos for the upcoming season. The focus will then shift to his integration into the team and his performances in the Greek Super League. In the meantime, Spartak will continue to work on optimizing the terms of the rental deal, including the purchase option and rental price.
