Raúl García Escudero is a young Spanish footballer who currently features for the Spanish and European giants Atletico Madrid. He plays in central midfield and is also a regular member of the Spanish U21 national team.

Raul Garcia graduated from the youth academy at Osasuna and played for the first team of Osasuna from 2004 to 2007. He impressed in his three years at Osasuna and was hugely linked to move to European powerhouse Real Madrid in the summer of 2007.

But Raul Garcia thought otherwise and opted to join Real's cross-city rivals Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee worth 13 million euros on a 5-year contract. He has performed quite remarkably for Atletico in the 2007-2008 season.
