Atletico Madrid sports chief
Jesus Garcia Pitarch admits he regrets signing Luis Garcia from
Liverpool.
The midfielder moved onto Racing Santander this summer and
Pitarch said: "One thing I regret in these three years I've been
here is to have signed Luis Garcia."
Pitarch insists Atletico did well to hold onto their star
players this summer.
He added: "For this year's limited budget, forced and imposed,
we could have sold El Kun, Forlan, Perea, Simao, Valera, Assuncao
or Ujfalusi, players who have received offers, some of them very
important, and found an enviable economic solution.
"It would have been easy, but we did not intend to decapitalise
the football club."
