Latest news on Real Madrid. Carlos Espí, a 21-year-old forward, joins the Spanish national team to fill in for Ferran Torres, who has left the camp due to discomfort in his left ankle. The swap occurs before the match against Czech Republic, scheduled for October 3rd in Oviedo.

Carlos Espí gets the call after scoring five goals with the U-21 team

The call-up comes a day after Carlos Espí scored five goals with the U-21 team against San Marino in the Euro 2027 qualifying match. The Real Madrid forward also provided two assists in the 0-13 victory, as reported post-match.

Espí was initially part of the U-21 squad in September, scheduled for matches against Finland, San Marino, and Romania, wearing the number 19, before Ferran Torres' absence promoted him to the senior national team.

The striker had caught the attention of Luis de la Fuente during the previous season. In May, he was included in a pre-list of 55 players for the World Cup after finishing the season with 11 goals in LaLiga with Levante.

Real Madrid had already invested 25 million in Carlos Espí

Carlos Espí's national team call-up comes shortly after his move to Real Madrid. The club paid 25 million euros, his release clause at Levante, and signed the forward until June 30, 2031.

Espí ended the 2025-26 season with 11 goals in La Liga and was named the best U-23 player. His performance led to Levante's second highest sale in club history, according to EFE.

At Real Madrid, he began adapting during preseason, scoring three goals in his first five matches, albeit without starting, as reported by AS at the end of August.

Ferran Torres vacates a spot for the forward

Ferran Torres' absence changes Spain's roster for the upcoming Nations League game. The PSG forward was initially in Luis de la Fuente's squad for the four matches in this international window.

Now, Carlos Espí will have the chance to train with the senior team and be considered for the match against Czech Republic. Spain will play on October 3rd at 20:45 at the Carlos Tartiere, before closing the window against Croatia on October 6th.

For Espí, the next step will be to compete for playing time with Spain after his performance with the U-21 team. For Real Madrid, this call-up means the integration of one of their forwards into the senior team just two months after a 25 million transfer.
