Levante loses a star
Levante suffered a significant setback during the summer transfer window, losing 21-year-old academy graduate Carlos Espíe to Real Madrid. The royal club paid 25 million euros for the Spaniard, but Levante faces a tough challenge in replacing the player who scored 20 goals for them. According to Spanish journalist Eric Martín Gasulli, Levante has focused its attention on the Ekstraklasa, specifically on striker Karol Czubak of Motor Lublin.
Czubak knows Spanish football
Interestingly, Czubak already has experience with Spanish football, as he was on trial at the famous FC Barcelona in 2013. The 26-year-old gradually climbed through the ranks in Poland, making a big impression at Arka Gdynia, where he scored 66 goals in 130 appearances in the 1. Liga. Czubak failed to make a bigger impact in Belgium with Kortrijk, but after returning to the Ekstraklasa last summer, he joined Motor Lublin. In the colors of the Lublin team, Czubak scored 18 goals in 32 appearances in the Ekstraklasa, and ultimately narrowly lost the battle for the golden boot.
He still has an important contract in Lublin
Currently, Czubak is tied to Motor Lublin with a contract valid until 2027, and the club also has the option to extend the contract for another two years. According to Transfermarkt, the value of the Polish representative is estimated at 2.5 million euros. After earning four points in the first four matches of the season, Motor Lublin is now focusing on Saturday's match against Korona Kielce.
