Man City midfielder Javi Garcia in Russia to finalise Zenit move

Manchester City midfielder Javi Garcia is finalising his move to Zenit St Petersburg today.

The Daily Mail says the Russian club agreed to pay £12m up front for the Spaniard and a further £800,000 in add-ons based on their progress in Europe.

Garcia flew to Russia on Friday to discuss personal terms after City agreed a fee with Zenit.

The Spain midfielder signed from Benfica for £15.8m in August 2012 but struggled to win a regular first-team place and made just 31 Premier League starts in two years.
