What happened. Real Madrid have entered the race for Levante striker Carlos Espí, whose €25m release clause has attracted interest from the Spanish giants.

Lazio had tracked Espí but stepped back due to Premier League interest.
Espí scored 11 goals in 25 La Liga appearances last season.
Real Madrid see him as a replacement for Gonzalo García.

Real Madrid aim to beat English clubs to Espí's signature as Lazio shift focus to Milan's Giménez.
