Levi Garcia to Celtic transfer talk outlawed by bullish AEK owner as he insists star man is going nowhere

Levi Garcia has been told he has NO way out of AEK Athens this summer amid rumoured interest from Celtic.

The forward is a reported target for Parkhead boss Ange Postecoglou as the transfer rumour mill begins to crank up. But owner Dimitris Melissanidis appears to have thrown cold water on any suggestion that the Greek side's top attacker could be making a move to the Premiership or anywhere else this summer.

According to Sportime, the business tycoon has slapped a 'not for sale' sign on Garcia, and says any transfer window decisions will be left to manager Matías Almeyda. Melissanidis told NewsBreak ahead of the summer: "We are all happy that after so many years this team has its own league and stadium. Today I want to tell you about our new plans and what we are thinking of doing immediately after our pitch and then whatever you want to ask us.

"We will do whatever the coach asks, four or five transfers. We are willing to do it because we believe that this team can also stand out in Europe."
