Returns to Levante on loan

Sanchez has returned to Levante on loan from Celta Vigo through the end of the season, according to the club.

Analysis: Sanchez made 33 appearances for Levante last season during his previous loan spell from Celta, becoming an important piece of the squad in the top flight. The defender came through Atletico Madrid's academy before spells at Osasuna and Alaves, and has amassed 178 LaLiga appearances over his career, along with a runner up finish at the 2023 U21 European Championship with Spain. His return gives Levante back a proven option in defense heading into the new campaign.
