Carlos Álvarez now Benfica’s top target, offers on the table | OneFootball

Carlos Álvarez is the new priority for Benfica in the final days of this transfer market, in addition to another name on the table. The 22-year-old right winger from Levante appeals to Benfica's officials, who believe they can close a deal with the Spanish club for around 15 million euros.

The Spanish press reveals that Levante will only release Carlos Álvarez for amounts around 25 million euros. However, Benfica's management is aware of the financial difficulties of the club recently promoted to La Liga and believes this factor will be crucial in closing the deal.

After failed attempts to sign Anis Hadj-Moussa from Feyenoord and Mohamed El Amine Amoura from Wolfsburg, due to the high demands of their respective clubs, Benfica believes they will be able to secure the signing of Carlos Álvarez and thus ensure the successor to Di María.

Interestingly, in the first two matches of the current Levante season, Carlos Álvarez was not a starter, only coming off the bench, which indicates that the Spaniard is indeed on his way out. The international player for his country's youth teams has a contract until June 2027, which also plays in favor of Benfica.

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.
