Carlos Espi says Real Madrid move came despite Premier League options

Carlos Espi has spoken about his move to Real Madrid, saying he had opportunities to join clubs in the Premier League before the Spanish giants emerged as an option.

“There were options in the Premier League, but then Real appeared,” the Spanish forward said.

The 21-year-old joined Real Madrid from Levante last summer in a deal worth 25 million euros.

Espi signed a five-year contract with the Madrid club after completing the transfer.
