Real Madrid signs Carlos Espí from Levante for €25 million

Real Madrid has secured the signing of Carlos Espí from Levante for €25 million, addressing their forward depth after Gonzalo García's departure to Fulham. The 21-year-old Spaniard, a standout performer with 11 goals in 13 starts last season, has committed to the club until June 2031. Espí, noted for his aerial ability and physical play, joins as a backup to Kylian Mbappé and competes with Endrick for the striker position. He developed through Levante's academy and has also represented Spain at youth levels. His integration into the squad is expected to be smoother due to shared international connections with several teammates.
