Levante is experiencing moments of uncertainty regarding the future of Carlos Álvarez. The young footballer, only 22 years old, could leave the Levante team in the midst of his prime to move to a league with greater international impact.

Carlos Álvarez was a key player last season in the Second Division. His seven goals and eleven assists demonstrate his ability to tip the balance in matches, but his most memorable moment was scoring the goal that secured Levante's promotion.

His performances have sparked interest from several European clubs, with Benfica taking the lead. The Lisbon club sees Carlos Álvarez as a strategic signing to strengthen their attacking creativity and has made it clear that they are willing to push the limits to secure his transfer.

Initially, Levante received a €20 million offer from the Portuguese club. However, the Levante management stood firm, stating that Carlos Álvarez will only leave if the €25 million release clause is met.

In Portugal, media sources claim that Benfica will not hesitate to meet that figure. They see Carlos Álvarez as a talent with room for growth and market value that could double in a few years.

Sevilla Would Profit from the Transfer

Levante faces a complex operation. According to the contract, Sevilla retains 40% of any future transfer, meaning that out of the €25 million, only €15 million would go to Levante.

Carlos Álvarez remains calm as his future is decided. The player is focused on preseason, although those around him acknowledge his excitement at the prospect of playing in the Champions League with Benfica.

Losing a player who has been the driving force in attack is a concern in Valencia. Carlos Álvarez not only contributes with his stats but also provides leadership in crucial moments, as he demonstrated by scoring the goal that brought Levante back to the elite.

The Levante club knows that retaining Carlos Álvarez will be challenging. The clause is affordable for a giant like Benfica, and market pressure may tip the scales.

Levante fans observe the situation with some resignation. They are aware that Carlos Álvarez is a coveted gem, and it wouldn't be long before top teams come knocking after his spectacular season.

In Portugal, they eagerly await him. Benfica's offensive style suits Carlos Álvarez perfectly, with his ability to break lines with visionary passing and connect with forwards.

Meanwhile, Sevilla closely monitors the situation. Carlos Álvarez's sale could bring significant income to a club that needs financial breathing space, adding importance to the market move.

Negotiations between clubs are ongoing. Levante insists on the full payment of the release clause, while Carlos Álvarez awaits a decision that could define his career.

If the transfer goes through, the Andalusian will join the ranks of Spanish talents abroad. Carlos Álvarez would have the opportunity to establish himself in a top-tier European football scenario.
