Carlos Álvarez has established himself as one of the most remarkable stories in Spanish football over the past year and a half. The young Andalusian forward, now a key player for Levante, has evolved from a modest bet to becoming one of the most followed footballers in the league due to his performance and personality in high-pressure scenarios.
His progression has not gone unnoticed in the market. Major teams in LaLiga are seriously considering his signing, and everything indicates that next summer could mark a definitive turning point in his career... and also in the accounts of his original club.
From Sevilla's academy to hero of Levante's promotion
Trained in the youth system of Sevilla, Carlos Álvarez left the Seville club at no transfer cost, a decision that has sparked debate in Nervión over time. The forward found in Levante the ideal context to grow, take on responsibilities, and showcase his full potential.
Last season was his definitive consecration. Carlos scored seven goals and provided eleven assists, outstanding numbers that were decisive for Levante's promotion to Primera División. His impact was total, to the extent of becoming the scorer of the goal that secured the return of the "granota" club to the elite. Beyond the figures, his leadership in key moments made him an absolute reference for the team.
Consolidation in La Liga and offensive leadership
Far from fading in the category jump, Carlos Álvarez has taken a step further this season. In his first experience in the top category of Spanish football, the Seville-born forward has already scored three goals and provided an assist, being one of Levante's main offensive references. His ability to appear between lines, his intelligence in the final third, and his personality to take risks have allowed him to adapt naturally to the rhythm of Primera.
At 22 years old, Carlos not only contributes directly to production but also brings imbalance and continuity in offensive play. Levante has built much of its proposal around his talent, aware that he is a differential player within a young and competitive squad. His consistent performance has reinforced the idea that he is not a one-time breakthrough but a profile with a future in the elite.

Villarreal makes a move, and Sevilla watches from afar
This sustained growth has sparked interest from major clubs. Among them, Villarreal stands out, as they have already inquired about the situation of the player and would be willing to put an offer close to 20 million euros on the table. At the Castellón club, they see in Carlos Álvarez an ideal profile to reinforce their attack with national talent, room for improvement, and recent experience in LaLiga.
The operation also has an added component that directly affects Sevilla. When the Seville club released the player, they retained 50% of a future sale. This means that if Levante accepts a 20 million offer, Sevilla would automatically receive 10 million euros. A significant amount for a player who left for free and now reappears in Seville's present for economic reasons.
Levante, on the other hand, is not in a rush. They are aware that Carlos Álvarez is one of their most valuable assets and that his value could keep increasing if he maintains his level. However, they also understand that offers of this caliber do not come every day and that the market may dictate the outcome.
Carlos Álvarez remains focused on his performance on the field, but his future is beginning to take shape away from Ciutat de València. If Villarreal decides to take the definitive step, the Andalusian will face a new leap in his career, while Sevilla will once again witness the success of a homegrown player who left prematurely.
