Atletico Madrid will allow Luis Garcia to leave on a free transfer, should he find a club to match his ambitions.

According to AS, Atleti are keen to get the player off their wage bill, as he currently earns around €3 million per season. Ever since moving to the Vicente Calderon from Liverpool in 2007, Garcia has never quite cemented a starting place, making just 47 league appearances over two seasons.

Now, there is considerable interest in the former Barcelona man from England, namely Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers, but there are doubts as to whether those clubs will be willing to match his wages.

However, Dinamo Moscow and Zenit St. Petersburg are more than willing to offer Garcia a similar deal, but he is seemingly reluctant to move to Russia at this stage in his career.

Atletico are keen to resolve the situation before July 11, when their pre-season training begins.
