Valencia Track Zapater And García

A number of Zaragoza players, including the likes of Ricardo Oliveira, Diego Milito and Pablo Aimar look set to leave La Romareda following their demotion to the Segunda Division and it seems that Zapater and García could follow.

Zapater is a clear favourite of the Zaragoza faithful having come up through the club's youth academy and established himself as a worthy member of the first team with consistently determined performances in the centre of midfield.

He is the current team captain and although he has, thus far, been overlooked at international level, the twenty-two year old is seen as one of the best young defensive midfielders in Spain.

García, on the other hand, has caught the attention of national team coach Luis Aragones and has been named in Spain's 23-man squad for this summer's European Championships.

The twenty-four year old has been linked with English side Tottenham Hotspur in recent times as his stock continues to rise and it is not surprise to see Valencia taking an interest in the forward.

Valencia vice-president Rafael Salom made initial contact with the players' agent before his resignation and the details of the meeting have been passed on to Juan Sanchez in order to take the talks further if he sees fit.

Players will have to be sold to balance the books before Valencia are in a position to make any signings of their own, but once that is the case, it seems that Zapater and García will be among the first moves made.
