Levante leaves Carlos Espí out of squad ahead of potential sale

Published Jul 26, 12:08 PM UTC

Levante 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 injury ahead of a likely departure this summer. Espí, a key player in last season's final stretch, could provide financial relief for debt-ridden Levante. His release clause is set at 25 million euros, but as of now, no offers matching that amount have been received. Espí had played in the first two preseason matches under coach Luís Castro, scoring one goal against Leganés.
