Levante UD has addressed recent registration hurdles with LaLiga, successfully registering seven new players including Hugo Sotelo and Thiago Fernández. 

Despite this resolution, manager Luís Castro noted that Financial Fair Play regulations continue to impact the club. Castro indicated that the club may be forced to sell players to manage its finances and squad, stating that “there are clubs that have to buy and there are clubs that have to sell.” Future signings will remain highly selective and contingent upon player departures, such as the potential exit of Kareem Tundeen.
