Anyone know how good this chap is? Wondering if this has more to do with lack of articles on team news during the international break, or actual truth.

Liverpool have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Racing Santander's Argentine defender Ezequiel Garay.


Real Madrid and Juventus are also keen on the 21-year-old who is valued at £10million.

Racing star's England aim

Argentine star Ezequiel Garay has confirmed to skysports.com that he dreams of playing in England.

The 21-year-old central defender is shining at Racing Santander in La Liga - who he joined in 2005 from Newell's Old Boys.

Liverpool and Manchester United have both dispatched their scouting network to watch Garay in recent weeks, whilst Real Madrid and Barcelona are also well aware of his progress.

Garay, who has four years left on his current deal at El Sardinero, has a get-out clause of 20 million euros (£14.2million) and Racing will want close to that figure before they think about letting the player leave, although the club insist they have had no offers.

No offers

"We know the situation and the number of scouts that are at our games, but nobody has sent anything to us," a club spokesman confirmed.

"We are calm and, as normal if something arrived, we would study it."

Garay himself refuses to talk of his potential suitors and remains calm about the interest.

"These sorts of rumours appeared last season, but I am still with Racing," he told skysports.com.

"This news does not concern me because my only objective is to play well for Racing - if an offer does arrive that I will look at it."


English dream

He does admit playing in the Premier League would be a huge lure.

"To play in England is a dream," he admitted.

"But I insist that I do not want to talk about the hypothesis. I do not have any preferences about any clubs.

"My head is in Racing but like all professionals I would like to progress.

"But I have spoken with the directors of Racing only this week and there is no real news about me."

I've never seen this guy play before to be honest but there must be something good that he's doing to be getting all this attention. If he's quality and would be an asset to the club I am sure Sir Alex will make the push but as of now I have no idea whether or not uor interest is legit so I wont fret too much and Let January or next summer show me the way.
