La Liga
Karl Etta Eyong, a 22-year-old Cameroonian forward, has been offered to Valencia in the last days of the transfer market as a result of Levante's need to free up spots to bring in players. Valencia currently does not see the operation as a priority, although the situation could change before the window closes.
Karl Etta Eyong on Valencia's Radar
Etta Eyong's situation is influenced by Levante's financial and squad needs. The club needs to create space for transfers, and the attacker is among the players whose departure could unlock movements before the market closes.
Valencia has received the proposal but is currently considering other alternatives to strengthen their attack. Therefore, the forward is not a priority in the planning of the team led by Carlos Corberán.
The context could change in the final hours of the market. If Valencia does not make progress in other forward operations, Etta Eyong could become an option to consider due to his knowledge of LaLiga and experience in the competition.
The forward is under contract with Levante until June 2029, so any departure will depend on an agreement between the parties. Levante paid around 3 million euros to Villarreal for his signing in 2025.

Levante Needs to Free Up Spots for Signings
The situation of Karl Etta Eyong is also explained by the scenario Levante is going through in the final stretch of the market. The club has linked new signings to player exits while working to adjust its squad before the deadline.
Etta Eyong ended the 2025/26 season with 7 goals and 4 assists in 33 matches, according to available statistical records. These numbers came after the forward established himself as one of Levante's main offensive options.
At the beginning of the 2026/27 campaign, his participation has decreased. LaLiga shows 2 matches and 46 minutes, without goals or assists, in the first two rounds of the championship.
The interest in Etta Eyong is not limited to Spanish football. Sunderland has emerged as one of the Premier League clubs following the forward and is considering a deal below a release clause set around 30 million euros.
The forward had drawn interest from English clubs during the summer. Ipswich Town contacted Levante in June to inquire about the conditions for a potential transfer, confirming that the British market has been monitoring his situation for months.
Decision Approaching Closure
Valencia has other ongoing operations and currently does not see Karl Etta Eyong as a priority. However, the situation may change in the final days if they need an alternative for their attack and Levante manages to free up the necessary spot.
The Premier League provides other avenues for the player's departure while Levante needs to resolve their squad situation before the market closes. For now, Etta Eyong remains linked to the Levante club, but his name will be on the table until the window ends.
