Levante HubLevante UD extends Alex Primo for the next three seasons
Levante UD confirmed on Monday the extension of goalkeeper Alex Primo until 2027, with an optional clause that could add another year. The deal was signed before the automatic two‑year extension deadline of May 30, preventing the club from triggering the extension on its own.
What does the extension mean for the goalkeeper?
Primo, who will turn 21 in July, joined the club in the benjamín category and has spent over a decade wearing the blue‑and‑white shirt. The youngster has trained with the first team, received several call‑ups and played matches with Atlético Levante in Tercera RFEF. His La Liga debut came in the final round of the 21‑22 season.
Why do the coach and senior keeper praise Primo?
Julián Calero, Levante’s manager, described Primo as a "beast" for his competitiveness and work ethic. Senior goalkeeper Andrés Fernández added that Primo shows a great attitude, listens well and has a lot of potential. Both highlighted his willingness to improve and his strong training mentality.
What impact does the decision have on the market?
The commitment has halted interest from several clubs, including Real Mallorca, Villarreal CF, Valencia CF and a European side that were monitoring the situation. Keeping Primo secures the granota DNA in the locker room and guarantees stability in the goalkeeper position.

Stability between the posts is a key step toward the club’s La Liga ambitions.
