Álvaro Negredo Sánchez (born August 20, 1985 in Madrid) is a Spanish football striker for UD Almería.
He grew up playing for Rayo Vallecano, before switching in 2005 for another Madrid side, as he ended his formation in Real Madrid affiliate Real Madrid Castilla from 2005-07.
In his last season, Negredo really developed as a striker, although he could not prevent Castilla's drop into Segunda División B. He impressed the first team's coach Fabio Capello and was called for a few Real matches in the Copa del Rey, but stayed unused on the bench. Finally, he made his debut for the first team in a friendly match against Atlético Madrid.
In July 2007, he was sold to La Liga promotees UD Almería, with R.Madrid having an option to rebuy. On February 2, 2008, Negredo scored from the spot in a 2-0 home win against his former team. On April 19, in a 4-1 away success against UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey current holders Sevilla CF, he added two, after having missed a penalty kick. He finished the season as Almería's topscorer with 13 goals, as the side from Andalusia finished 8th.
