Real Madrid's behind-the-scenes hero disrupting Mourinho
Carlos Espe, the 21-year-old forward, joined Real Madrid from Levante in a secret deal worth 25 million euros, following efforts by coach José Mourinho to persuade him of his expected role, especially after the departure of Gonzalo García. The player started strongly, scoring two goals in four friendly matches and, in turn, contributed to Levante's promotion to La Liga in 2025 and their significant achievements, including 11 goals in the following season. Espe is characterized by his height of 194 cm and his ability to score from limited opportunities, making him an additional tactical option for the team. He now competes for a starting spot amidst a star-studded lineup that includes Mbappe and Vinicius. Espe's transfer is the most expensive in Levante's history after Jefferson Lerma, and he is expected to establish himself as a reliable backup striker, benefiting from his previous experience and early goals with the royal club.
