Real Madrid swooped to sign striker Carlos Espi from Levante on Thursday for a reported 25 million euro ($29m) fee.
The 21-year-old had been linked with several Premier League sides but record 15-time European champions Madrid pounced, with Gonzalo Garcia likely to leave for Fulham.
“(Espi) will join our club for the next five seasons, until June 30, 2031,” said Madrid in a statement.
Espi scored 11 goals in La Liga last season in 25 top-flight appearances. Related News EPL: Why I joined Tottenham Hotspur – Tonali UEFA threatens FIFA boycott over World Cup sale plan Five things to know about FIFA’s controversial World Cup stake proposal
