Benfica? Target shows promise, leaving Rui Costa all smiles | OneFootball

Coveted by Benfica, who sees the player as the ideal replacement for the right-wing position, Carlos Álvarez, as reported by the press, is aware of the interest from the club. It appears that the Levante footballer is very pleased with the possibility of moving to Estádio da Luz.

The newspaper A Bola writes, in the edition of this Wednesday, August 27, the young Spanish international is excited about Benfica's interest and looks favorably on the possibility of playing with the eagle on his chest. However, the same source states that the club is only monitoring the player's situation, as they have not yet made any proposal to Levante.

However, the Spanish press assures that the club will make an offer in the coming days for the 22-year-old winger, who predominantly plays with his left foot, a requirement that the eagles are looking for in a reinforcement for the right wing. Nonetheless, the creative player can also play on the left wing, although that position is currently held by Andreas Schjelderup and Kerem Akturkoglu.

Despite the sporting director of Levante informing that the club is not interested in selling the player, Benfica intends to start negotiations as soon as possible and the imminent qualification for the Champions League could guarantee the ‘millions’ needed for the eagles to proceed with the player's transfer.

Last season, wearing Levante's jersey, Carlos Álvarez - currently valued at 6 million euros - played 43 matches, accumulating 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 Spanish club that won the Spanish Second Division.
