Álvaro Negredo Sánchez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈalβaɾo neˈɣɾeðo ˈsantʃeθ]; born 20 August 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for English club Middlesbrough on loan from Valencia CF as a striker.
Nicknamed La fiera de Vallecas (The beast of Vallecas), his early career was associated with Real Madrid, although he could never become a part of its first-team setup, going on to represent other clubs in his country, with his longest spell being at Sevilla. Over the course of eight seasons, he amassed La Liga totals of 264 games and 112 goals.
A Spanish international since 2009, Negredo was part of the team that won Euro 2012.
Born in Madrid, Negredo started his career at local Rayo Vallecano, making his professional debuts in early 2005 with the club in Segunda División B. In the middle of the year he switched to another side in the country's capital, ending his training in Real Madrid affiliate Real Madrid Castilla.
Negredo developed as a striker in his last season, scoring 18 league goals although he could not prevent Castilla's drop from Segunda División. He did manage to impress first-team coach Fabio Capello and was called up for a few games in the Copa del Rey, but remained an unused substitute; finally, he made his debut for the main squad in a friendly against Atlético Madrid.
