The Real Madrid has completed the signing of Carlos Espí, a 21-year-old forward, after sending the formal notification to execute the 25 million euros release clause set by Levante in this summer transfer window.

The player joins the white team immediately and undergoes medical examinations this July 30 in the Spanish capital to make himself available to the coaching staff. He arrives to take the place of Gonzalo García.

José Mourinho's Approval and Gonzalo García's Replacement

As confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, the forward's arrival has the express approval of coach José Mourinho. The board accelerated the signing to cover the vacancy left in the attacking line by Gonzalo García, whose transfer to Fulham in the Premier League was finalized for 40 million euros.

The 21-year-old footballer joins Real Madrid's squad after scoring 11 goals in 25 official matches played with Levante's first team last season. The Madrid leadership acted swiftly to notify the Valencia club of the payment of the 25 million euros before other European entities intervened in the operation.

Carlos Espí's Contract Details with Real Madrid

The striker will pass his medical tests at the club's facilities to sign his binding contract with the Chamartín entity. After paying the full clause to Levante, the board does not need to negotiate additional payment terms with the original team, streamlining the player's official registration with LaLiga.

With this move, Real Madrid ensures a replacement for their offensive rotation in the 2026/2027 season competitions. The player will commence training under José Mourinho's instructions once the bureaucratic procedures of his transfer are completed.

The forward will join Real Madrid's training sessions this July 31, 2026. The next step for the white club will be to formalize the player's official presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu before the team travels to their first preseason commitments.
