Manu Garcia's suitcase and American confirmation

Spanish midfielder Manu Garcia is on the verge of returning to Aris Thessaloniki, just 1.5 years after his departure for MLS side Kansas City. The 28-year-old player, whom Aris once paid nearly 5 million euros for, appears set to leave the American club.

The news of Garcia's potential return to Aris quickly spread across the Atlantic, with several media outlets reporting on the development. The situation was reportedly initiated by Kansas City's coach, who stated after a match against Colorado Rapids that Garcia was available and that discussions about his future led to the decision not to use him in the game. The coach referred further inquiries to Sporting Director David Lee.

Garcia has reportedly agreed to a three-year contract with Aris and is awaiting the finalization of negotiations between the two clubs. The key remaining step is to agree on the precise transfer fee and payment structure. If these details are settled promptly, Garcia could travel to Thessaloniki within the week to complete his move.

This potential transfer marks a significant move for Aris as they aim to strengthen their squad. Garcia's previous stint with the club was notable, and his return is anticipated by fans. The final confirmation and details are expected to be announced once the clubs reach a full agreement.

Manu was available, but we had some discussions with him over the last few days regarding his future. So, I decided it was best not to use him in the game.
