Levante Real Madrid
Real Madrid have surprisingly joined the pursuit for Levante striker Carlos Espí, which has seemingly dashed Lazio's hopes of acquiring the young talent. The Spanish giants aim to replace Gonzalo García and are keen on Espí, especially with the possibility of him following his former coach Álvaro Arbeloa to Fulham. This development has led José Mourinho’s side to make a move for the promising forward. Lazio, who had been monitoring Espí, are now looking elsewhere after being priced out due to increasing competition from Premier League teams. With a release clause of only €25 million, Real Madrid sees Espí as an attainable target, potentially outmaneuvering English clubs in the race for his signature. Meanwhile, Lazio is reportedly shifting focus to Santiago Giménez, who is not in Milan's plans.
