Young defender Carlos Espi has left Real Oviedo for Real Madrid in a move that multiplies his annual salary eightfold compared to his previous contract.
Real Madrid have completed the signing of young defender Carlos Espi (21), from Real Oviedo, in a move that multiplies his annual salary eightfold compared to his previous contract.
Espi was earning around €600,000 a year at Oviedo, a figure now raised to roughly €4.8 million at the Santiago Bernabéu, reflecting the club's strong belief in the young defender's potential.
Espi caught the eye this season with his defensive solidity and reading of the game, establishing himself as one of La Liga's most promising talents, before Real Madrid moved quickly to beat other European suitors to his signature.
The defender is expected to join the first-team squad directly, with speculation already swirling over his chances of breaking into the regular starting line-up.
