Levante Strengthens Its Squad in the Transfer Window

Levante UD has strengthened its squad with the arrival of Dani Requena from Villarreal, Manu Sánchez from Celta de Vigo, Bardeli from Dunkerke, Mandi free from Lille, and Musuayi from the Belgian club Brujas. The club, led by Carlos Corberán, aims to avoid relegation in its second season in LaLiga after returning to the top flight.

Current situation of Levante

Levante lost its season opener to Espanyol, 3-0, and its last pre-season match was a 1-2 defeat to Newcastle in the Trofeu Taronja. With Carlos Corberán at the helm, the team focuses on maintaining stability and avoiding relegation.

Key signings

To boost creativity in midfield, Levante signed Dani Requena from Villarreal and Manu Sánchez on loan from Celta de Vigo. Additionally, Bardeli from Dunkerke, Mandi free from Lille, and Musuayi from the Belgian club Brujas were added.

Defensive and offensive needs

The club is still looking for a right-back and is eyeing Arnau Martínez from Girona, though the €7 million release clause is a luxury. Rumours also mention Chirino from Almería and Sapuntin from Zorya Lugansk.

Lack of wingers

With only Paco Cortés and Tay Abed as nominal wingers, Levante is targeting Thiago Fernández, a winger from Villarreal who was loaned to Oviedo, to cover the weakness on the flanks.

Departures and previous signings

During pre-season, Levante lost Thierry Correia, Saravia, Baptiste Santamaría, and Mario Domínguez (loaned to Excelsior Rotterdam). The club added central defender Justin de Hass from Famalicão, Aliou Dieng from Al-Ahly, Dimitrievski on a unilateral clause, and Ryunosuke Sato, left-winger from Tokyo.

Season objective

Levante, in its second season in LaLiga, seeks not only to secure survival but also to improve its league position. With the new signings, the team aims to solidify its defense and increase midfield creativity.
