Real Madrid have wrapped up the acquisition of attacker Carlos Espi following a finalized arrangement with Levante. The forward, born in Valencia, has committed to a five-year deal with the Spanish powerhouse, securing his place at the club until 30 June 2031.
The 21-year-old makes his way to the capital after solidifying his role in Levante’s senior squad, where his displays over the last three campaigns marked him out as one of the most promising forwards in the division. He is also slated to fill the void left by Gonzalo Garcia, who is on the verge of sealing a transfer to Fulham.
Carlos Espi’s move to Real Madrid officially announced
Real Madrid have confirmed that a permanent agreement was struck with Levante for the transfer of Carlos Espi. The striker has pledged his long-term future to the club by putting pen to paper on a contract extending through the summer of 2031.
This switch sees the Valencia-born player advance to the next stage of his career after rising through the ranks at Levante and becoming a consistent feature in their first-team lineup.
Espi’s numbers underline his promise
Espi joins Real Madrid after featuring in 66 competitive matches for Levante’s senior team across three seasons. In that span, he found the net 20 times and cemented his status as a key offensive threat.
His efforts in the previous season were acknowledged with the accolade for the league’s top player under 23 years of age. As per the club’s official statement, he is now set to step into the role vacated by Gonzalo Garcia, who is anticipated to finalize his move to Fulham shortly.
Spanish youth international embarks on fresh chapter
Beyond his club exploits, Espi has also featured for Spain at various youth levels. The latest Real Madrid acquisition has earned caps for the national under-19 and under-20 sides.
The striker now starts a new journey at the Santiago Bernabeu after completing his transfer and inking a long-term contract with the club.
