Benfica's Garcia not joining Man City claims agent

Manchester City target Javi Garcia will not be leaving Benfica this summer, according to the player's representative, reports talkSPORT. Reports in the Portuguese media earlier this week suggested that City boss Roberto Mancini would make a bid for the 25 year old Spanish anchorman.

But Garcia's agent, Manuel García Quillon, insists City have not contacted him about the availability of his client and says the midfielder will remain at Benfica.

"I have had no contact from City," he told A Bola. "No-one has called me.

"I have no proposal from England about Javi. He renewed with Benfica and we have nothing more to say. We do not have any club interested in him. He will continue at Benfica."
