Career 

Born in Madrid, Alvaro Negredo started his football journey at Escuela Futbol in 1997. Three years later, he joined Rayo Vallecano and went through the club’s youth system.

His performance impressed Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello, who called him up for a few Copa del Rey games. He didn’t, however, get the chance to play as remained an unused substitute.

In July 2007, Real Madrid sold Negredo to UD Almeria with the option to buy him back. In his debut season with Almeria, Negredo finished as the club’s top scorer with 13 goals. The following season, he scored a total of 19 goals.

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.
