Real Madrid Strike Deal for Levante Striker Espi

Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Levante to sign 21-year-old striker Carlos Espi. The deal triggers the €25 million release clause in his contract, with the player expected to move this summer. Separately, The Athletic reported on June 24 that Jose Mourinho is looking to bring in a striker but needs a first-team departure first - though that pursuit appears unrelated to Madrid's move for Espi.
