** Levante progresses in the signing of Kervin Arriaga **

Levante U. D.

Kervin Arriaga is about to become one of Levante UD's first signings upon their return to La Liga. The Levante team has decided to bet on the incorporation of a versatile player, capable of playing both as a defensive midfielder and center back in a system with three defenders.

Levante is finalizing the agreement with Partizan Belgrade under economic conditions similar to those agreed upon in the purchase option previously set with Real Zaragoza, which expires on June 30.

The Serbian club will receive an amount close to 500,000 euros fixed, and reserve a 25% of a future capital gain in case of transfer.

Kervin Arriaga and Levante are already finalizing the last details of a contract that will bind him to the team for three seasons, with an option for a fourth. Julián Calero will have a versatile player, whose cost — between the annual amortization of the transfer and salary — fits within the limitations imposed by the club's tight financial fair play margin.
