Cédric Bakambu has been offered to become the new Levante UD player in the last days of the market after becoming a free agent following the end of his contract with Real Betis. The 35-year-old forward is considering staying in LaLiga after the negotiations with Internacional de Porto Alegre fell through.

Levante is already assessing the financial conditions of a potential signing. Bakambu could arrive without a transfer fee, but he demands a signing bonus as a free agent, and the Valencian club needs to create room within its salary limit before taking on a new deal.

Cédric Bakambu Offered to Levante UD

The option of Bakambu has emerged as Levante UD was seeking alternatives to bolster their attack. The club had considered a different profile to complement its current forwards, but the chance to bring in a player with experience in LaLiga is now under consideration.

The main constraint is financial. Levante needs to balance its wage bill and continues to work on various exits in the final days of the transfer window. The departure of Pablo Martínez to Málaga has affected the squad, while names like Tay Abed, Xavi Grande, or Martin Krug are still linked to possible moves.

Bakambu finds himself in this scenario after his move to Internacional de Porto Alegre did not materialize. Talks with the Brazilian team had progressed in August, but the parties did not reach a definitive agreement, prompting his representatives to explore options both in Spain and abroad.

Being a free agent facilitates negotiations without a transfer fee. The forward is seeking a new contract after concluding his spell at Real Betis, where he arrived in January 2024 from Galatasaray.

His Spell at Real Betis Ended with 15 Goals

Cédric Bakambu concluded his time at Real Betis with 15 goals and seven assists in 74 official matches. His involvement in the last season was more limited in the Spanish league, where he accumulated 526 minutes and was only a starter in four games.

The Congolese striker had a more prominent role in European competition. His departure occurred at the end of the contract, part of a restructuring of the Verdiblanco squad that also saw Adrián San Miguel and Ricardo Rodríguez leave upon the expiration of their respective contracts.

Bakambu also has experience in the Valencia region due to his time at Villarreal CF. With the Castellon-based team, he scored 47 goals in 105 official matches before moving to Beijing Guoan, leading him to China, France, Greece, and Turkey before his return to LaLiga with Betis.

Internationally, he has 72 caps and 21 goals for the Democratic Republic of Congo, representing his country in the 2026 World Cup.

Salary Limit Affects the Deal

The next move lies with Levante UD. The club must decide if they can afford the signing bonus and requested salary before the market closes, while they continue efforts to create space in the squad.

For Cédric Bakambu, this option would allow him to stay in LaLiga without waiting for negotiations with Internacional to resume. The decision now rests on Levante's financial situation and the other proposals the striker receives in the final days of the window.
