Bryan Jahir García Realpe (born 18 January 2001) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as midfielder.
Club career
Early career
Born in Rioverde, García began his career at local side Ciudadelas del Norte in 2016, aged just 15, in the Segunda Categoría.
Independiente del Valle
García joined Independiente del Valle's youth setup in 2018, playing for the under-18 and under-20 squads and winning the 2020 U-20 Copa Libertadores with the latter. Later in that year, he made his senior debut with the reserve team Independiente Juniors in the Ecuadorian Serie B.
García made his first team – and Serie A – debut on 30 August 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gabriel Torres in a 3–0 home win over Guayaquil City.[1] He scored his first professional goal the following 1 August, netting his team's fourth in a 4–0 home routing of Macará.[2]
Athletico Paranaense
On 22 January 2022, García moved abroad and signed a four-year contract with Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense.[3] On 12 May 2023, he and teammate Pedrinho were fired from the club, after having their names linked to the 2023 Brazilian football match-fixing scandal.[4]
Involvement in match-fixing scandal
On 22 May 2023, García reached an agreement with the Public Ministry of Goiás to become a witness in the investigation; he admitted to have received a financial compensation to receive a yellow card in a match against Fluminense, in the 25th round of the 2022 Série A.[5]
