Levante president: Talks with Benfica for Carlos Álvarez, phenomenal | OneFootball

Georgiy Sudakov and Dodi Lukebakio may not have been the last additions in this transfer window for Benfica. This Monday, the President of Levante revealed that negotiations are ongoing with Benfica for Carlos Álvarez, stating that anything is possible in these final hours of the transfer window. Follow, minute by minute, the last day of this transfer window.

“Carlos Álvarez is a Levante player. If he stays, great, but we are in talks with Benfica. There are a thousand and one operations underway. These last hours of the market are madness,” said the President of Levante, addressing the interest of the Clube da Luz in the star of the Spanish team.

According to the latest news reported by the national press, Benfica would be willing to advance with an amount between 15 and 20 million euros for Carlos Álvarez. However, Levante is aiming for a deal in the range of 25 million euros, which could complicate the agreement between the clubs.

The signings of Georgiy Sudakov – for 27 million plus 5 in objectives – and Dodi Lukebakio – 20 million plus 4 in objectives – may, therefore, not have been Benfica's last. Carlos Álvarez is, thus, the latest saga of this market, at least as far as incoming players are concerned.

Last season, wearing Levante's jersey, Carlos Álvarez - valued at 6 million euros - played 43 matches, totaling 3,424 minutes. In total, the 22-year-old right winger scored seven goals and made 12 assists, being one of the main figures of the team led by Spanish coach Julián Calero.
