Álex Forés has become the first signing for Levante in this winter transfer market, joining the Orriols team on loan until the end of the season. It has been reported that the Valencian forward will continue to receive his salary from Villarreal until the season concludes. Forés successfully completed his medical examination last Saturday and visited the club's offices at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium this morning. During his visit, he reportedly met with the sports director, Felipe Miñambres, to finalize his contract. Forés, originally from Real de Montroi, had previously overcome a tibia fracture that kept him out of action for over six months, but he recently made his return to the field in a match for Villarreal's B team against Fuenlabrada. Having grown up in Levante's youth academy, Forés later moved to Real Madrid and eventually joined Villarreal's youth ranks, where he demonstrated his scoring abilities last season by netting 16 goals in the Segunda División.
