SportsLevante played their third preseason match against Al-Qadsiah, winning 1-0, but the main story was the absence of striker Carlos Espí. The club left him out for technical reasons, preferring not to risk him getting injured ahead of a likely departure this summer. Espí, a key player in the final stretch of last season, could provide financial relief for the debt-ridden club. His release clause is set at 25 million euros, but as of now, no offer matching that amount has been received. Espí had played in the first two preseason matches and scored one goal against Leganés.
