This is what I wish to find out, Salvo...all I can find through google is that we were interested in him a while back.
Swedish side Djurgarden have confirmed that Juventus are interested in highly-rated starlet Carlos Garcia.
Garcia, 16, is regarded as an exciting prospect for the future and has been tipped to join a club in one of Europe's top leagues.
Tottenham have reportedly been keeping tabs on the full-back's progress but it seems Ciro Ferrara's Juve could be leading the chase for his signature.
The Italian giants have made contact with Djurgarden ahead of a possible move which could be worth 700,000 euros if Garcia progresses through to their first team.
"Yes, it is correct that Juventus are interested. We haven't received any bid, but they have met and discussed this," Djurgarden board member Ingvar Carlsson told Expressen.
"If he does move, then it is just left for us to congratulate the boy.
"I hope that he will be helped socially, not just on the pitch."(http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11973_5698788,00.html)

I totally forgot about this thread so I'm reading the first post and looking at the pic and thinking "was this some kind of a joke where Dusan is made out to look like a football player we just signed? Huh? Where was I went this prank was pulled" and I scroll down to see my own post saying this guy looks exactly like Dusan 
Juventus look to have won the race to sign Swedish starlet Carlos Garcia.
The 16-year-old defender trained with the Turin side earlier this year, as well as Tottenham and Inter Milan.
They were all keen to negotiate a deal with Djurgarden, Garcia's club, but Juve look to have landed him.
"It looks like it will be sorted out, it feels very nice that Juventus want me." Garcia told Swedish media.
"I feel ready to move now and I have explained that to Djurgarden.
"I assume that I will join the youth team, but my ambition is to get my debut in Serie A as soon as possible."(http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12874_5801104,00.html)
Are there any swedes around who KNOW this player well enough to give us a decent outline of his current and potential ability...???? And how does a swede get a name like Carlos Garcia??? Latin blood? South american or european???

No its not obvious at all...when we live in a world where an englishman calls his child Brooklyn, and an italian calls his child Tobias..but thanks for the information. I just found it odd that a swede could be called something so blatantly latin, stranger still, when someone else mentioned he was of serbian blood...
either way, I am now assuming he will be another Kirov. Signed, then loaned...one for the future.
