His performance at Almeria impressed Real Madrid, who exercised their buyback option in June 2009. However, the manager couldn’t guarantee him playing time with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain, Karim Benzema, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the squad.

As a result, Negredo joined Sevilla before the 2009 summer transfer window closed. He spent four seasons with Sevilla and then joined Manchester City where he began his journey of spending a season or two at a club before moving elsewhere.

After Man City, Negredo played for Valencia, Middlesbrough, Besiktas and Al-Nasr. In 2020, he joined Cadiz, where he is still playing at the age of 37.
