Benfica confirmed this Wednesday that they have sold Gary to Russia’s Zenit for 6 million Euros. Benfica only held 40% of Garay’s rights. No details were given if the 6 million were for the 40% that Benfica owned only, but the values involved lead us to believe that was the case.

If it’s 6 Million and Luis Neto or Cristian Ansaldi that’s an awesome deal, If it’s just as it’s presented then something is wrong. I’m sure a Valencia or Manchester United would of given more, not to mention it would of been more prestigious for Garay to play in one of those leagues. I’m sure the monthly paycheck must be fantastic but Garay doesn’t seem like the kind of money hungry mercenary…
Something sounds incomplete in this story, at least I hope so !
