After spending numerous times in Sevilla, he joined Premier League side Manchester City in 2013.

After having decent performances for the club, Negredo joined the club permanently and played for Valencia till 2016 before returning to the Premier League to play for Middlesbrough. After having another mediocre stint in England, Negredo made his way to Turkey to play for Beşiktaş in 2017. After playing for the Turkish side for over a year, he moved to Al Nasr SC in 2018.

After having another underwhelming tenure at Beşiktaş, Negredo moved to Cádiz in 2020 where he tried to show everyone once again that he has a lot left in him.
