Levi García, a 28-year-old Trinidad and Tobago international, has been proposed to Panathinaikos and is being considered by the club. Panathinaikos is searching for a main striker due to a new injury to Dessers, who is expected to be sidelined for another three months. It is said that García possesses the characteristics that manager Rafa Benítez is looking for. The player has not adapted well in Russia since his move from AEK 11 months ago. He had also been offered to PAOK, but they did not seriously pursue him, and rumours of a return to AEK were dismissed. Spartak Moscow is willing to loan García for a substantial loan fee with an option to buy, but the acquiring club would be required to cover his entire high salary, which is approximately €2.5 million per year. The forward has 52 caps and 10 goals for his country, has a contract with Spartak until June 2028, and has recorded 4 goals and 2 assists in 14 league appearances this season. Spartak Moscow acquired him from AEK Athens in February 2025 for a fee reported to be €18.7 million. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt at €10.00m.
