Levante agree $3.0M for David Alaba
The clubs have shaken hands with Real Madrid; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Levante get their man
The chase for Jonathan De Irastorza ended with $2.9M changing hands and Independiente out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Levante make their move for Antonio Puertas
$1.4M on the table at Albacete. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

A move Jonathan De Irastorza would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jonathan De Irastorza is living that version at Levante, and it tends to show in the first month.

Karl Etta Eyong signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Karl Etta Eyong and Levante agree another 5 years.

Levante rebuffed over Sebastián Driussi
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. River Plate have kept their man, and Levante go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

One of our own: Mateo Rey joins the Levante first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mateo Rey is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Levante promote Biel Cano from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Biel Cano has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
