Valencia’s Ezequiel GARAY to join Russian club Spartak Moscow

Valencia’s Ezequiel GARAY is all set to join the Russian club.

Lots of Argentinians appear to be heading to Russia in this transfer window. In this particular case, it’s one who is going back to Russia however to a different team. Valencia and former Argentina international Ezequiel GARAY is set to join Sparktak Moscow in Russia. This would be GARAY’s second stint in Russia after he had previously played for Zenit St. Petersburg from 2014-2016.

The defender, who joined Spanish club Valencia last season, was reportedly close to joining reigning Serie A champions Juventus. According to Spanish media Superdeporte, the talks between the two teams are very advanced to the point where it’s very possible that GARAY would get presented tomorrow (on Friday) as a new Spartak Moscow player.

El negro (as he’s called) was not present for Valencia’s training session on Thursday morning and did not take part in their previous four pre-season matches due to muscular discomfort.

COPA LIBERTADORES: River Plate & Lanus advance to Quarters

Hey everyone,

It was a good night for futbol Argentino last night.  River Plate advanced to the quarter finals despite last night’s 1-1 second-leg draw in the Monumental to Guarani.  Lucas ALARIO scored the winner for River. Lanus claimed a 2-1 aggregate victory as well thanks to Jose SAND’S 85th minute winner against visiting The Strongest. Both teams become the first two teams to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores.

River Plate will find out who they will play in the quarter finals today in the deciding match between Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro and Bolivian club Jorge Wilstermann.  Lanus will play the winner of Thursday’s San Lorenzo vs Emelec match.

River Plate have won the Libertadores three times: 1986, 1996, and 2015.

Here are the goals:

Lionel MESSI, Ever BANEGA and more with goals in pre-season

As the European friendly matches come to an end, there were still some pre-season trophies to be won and goals to be scored. Lionel MESSI, Ever BANEGA, Nicolas GAITAN and Gio SIMEONE all scored for their clubs.

Lionel MESSI scored the second of Barcelona’s five in their 5-0 victory against Chapecoense of Brazil. The Joan Gampter Trophy was MESSI and MASCHERANO’s last pre-season match ahead of their Spanish Super Cup match against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Ever BANEGA also found the back of the net for Sevilla as he scored both of his team’s goals against Everton in their 2-2 draw at Goodison Park. The Argentina man will look to have a big season under fellow Argentinian Eduardo BERIZZO who took over from current Argentina National Team manager Jorge SAMPAOLI. BANEGA‘s first came following a run inside the area from fellow Argentina team mate Joaquin CORREA. His second was from the penalty spot.

Still in England, Atletico Madrid (lead by the ever energetic Diego SIMEONE) picked up a 2-3 win against Brighton with Nicolas GAITAN scoring.

Speaking of Diego SIMEONE, his son Giovanni scored for Genoa in their 4-0 win against Dutch team Heereneveen. SIMEONE, just like on BANEGA’s second, scored from the spot.
