Kick off the transfer market in LaLiga. From today, July 1, Until August 31 at 23:59:59, First and Second clubs will be able to register new players in their templates. A market that will once again be marked by the crisis. Clubs did not expect the effects of the pandemic to last that long. They believed that they would be able to open their stadiums in early 2020, something that happened anecdotally in some fields the last two days. CWith the stands empty all season long, the accounts have been depleted and they have had to tighten their belts even more (In the previous market, Spain was the league that reduced its spending the most, as can be seen in the graph). Without much margin, the clubs are looking for reinforcements in a market that is used to selling to footballers at a very high price.
It will continue with the philosophy of the previous summer: bet on the quarry, the loans, the changes of stickers or signings at zero cost. Barcelona, the most economically burdened in LaLiga, has resorted to the latter with the arrival of Kun Agüero. But Laporta will have to make more adjustments, Tebas has warned him that his salary cost is exceeded. Real Madrid is in a better situation. Which would allow him to face a large operation if he gives out a player with a high salary. “Madrid is the club in Europe that has best managed the pandemic,” Tebas said.
The president of LaLiga recently stated that he sees a summer of few investments: “The turnover is going to be lower. But I am sure that if the market contracts in values, some clubs will be able to buy “. But for there to be renowned signings, the market will have to regulate itself. Prices should go down and Selling clubs accept that their players no longer have galactic value.
What each LaLiga Santander team is looking for
Athletic
He will bet on continuity, although there will be some movements. The plan is to replace every player who comes out, which will not be many. Torreira and Dembélé concluded their assignment and Saúl, Vitolo and a right-back, Vrsaljko or Arias, or perhaps both, could leave. Grbic will leave on loan in search of minutes, so he is looking for a substitute goalkeeper and, above all, a forward to accompany and give Luis Suárez a break. Marcos Paulo, a 20-year-old attacker who comes from Fluminense, will make the preseason and has options to stay, especially if Vitolo leaves, and the signing of De Paul is a matter of days.
Real Madrid
He wants a center-back after the departure of Ramos and the possible departure of Varane (contract ends in 2022, so they could seek to make money with him if he does not renew). A substitute is also sought for Casemiro and another for Benzema, unless Jovic and Mariano continue. They return seven yielded. It will be necessary to find a way out to several with another assignment, including Kubo.
Barcelona
In principle, he has bought what he could. Players at zero cost (Kun Agüero, Eric García and Depay) or who had a choice (Emerson). Missing the renewal of Messi. Most importantly, lighten staff and salaries. They have fired Matheus and sold Todibo and Konrad. More casualties are expected. Depending on the exits, reinforcements will be raised.
Seville
He has not made any signings yet, although he has Dmitrovic tied for his goal after Vaclik's departure. The focus is on the future of Koundé, which aims to leave if a high-flying offers finally arrives. Monchi is looking for a defensive midfielder who can give Fernando competition and also a left-back after Escudero's goodbye. The rest will depend on the starts, although names like Munir and De Jong are on the starting grid and there is interest in signing a nine, with Joselu as preference, preferably Joselu.
Real society
Imanol Alguacil's team has as a priority to look for a goalkeeper in this summer market, after the departure of Moyá. Álvaro Fernández (Huesca) and Radu (Inter Milan) are the ones they like the most. A left-back is also being sought, because Aihen Muñoz seems to be leaving the club this summer. And in the event that there is no agreement for the renewal of Januzaj, an extreme that will replace the Belgian one will be looked at in the market.
Betis
His top priority is hiring a central replacement for Mandi. He will also look for another center-back with the intention of releasing Sidnei. It has two goalkeepers in the market, Joel Robles and Dani Martín, due to the overbooking in goal after the arrival of Rui Silva. The club needs to sell, although it will depend on the offers that may come from players like William Carvalho, Tello or Loren. He will also look for reinforcement for the lead if there are finally exit moves.
Villarreal
He closed his priority objectives at the start of the market, ensuring the continuity of Foyth and the signing of Mandi. The people of Castellón must now focus on giving way to the players they do not have (homegrown and loan players) and wait for possible offers by players from the first team. In the chapter on reinforcements, the club is looking for and needs a winger with a left profile and a striker who moves throughout the attack front.
Celtic
They are looking for goalkeeper, center, left back, left winger (Cervi) and forward. To go out there are Carreira, Costas, Okay, Juan Hernández, Emre Mor and Toro Fernández.
grenade
You have to reinforce practically all of your lines. He needs a goalkeeper after the departure of Rui Silva. Right now they only have two centrals, they must sign in that position as well, and at least one man should arrive for the midfield, although at least two are expected. In the offensive plot, three incorporations are needed, one of a nine that can replace the departure of Soldier. Only the wingers with five troops for the two bands are well covered.
Athletic
Only the side Petxarroman will go to the preseason after the unsuccessful signing of Javi Martínez and the renewal of Moncayola with Osasuna. To go out there are Nolaskoain, Kodro, Córdoba, Ibai, Unai López and Iñigo Vicente.
Osasuna
If there is no unexpected exit, it is urgent for him to sign a left back. Manu Sánchez would be the first option, but as the issue could go on for a long time, the rojillo club already has advanced conversations with Cote. The Pamplona club is also looking for an extreme. Roncaglia ends his contract and it has not yet been communicated what will happen to him, although it is practically taken for granted that he will not be offered to continue. As for the players who this year have been loaned to other teams; Otegui, Brandon, Jaume Grau, Marc Cardona and Rober Ibáñez, the latter would be the only one with options to wear the Osasuna shirt again.
Cadiz
You need to free your squad with at least a dozen starts to reinforce the team. For now, the yellows have made two signings: Haroyan and Alarcón. Álvaro Cervera's team is looking for a left back and the one who is running as the first candidate is Santiago Arzamendia. Another position to strengthen is the goal, since David Gil aims to be one of the outlets in the market. The other position that they will have to continue strengthening is the center of the field.
Valencia
Bordalás is the only signing to date. The coach expects at least three reinforcements: central, pivot and forward. But Lim has not yet given the OK to close any operation. Meanwhile, in the departures section, Guedes is on the market with a price of 30 million and Diakhaby, Jason and Cheryshev are also being targeted. Wass meditates going out and Kang-In Lee will decide his future when he returns from Tokyo. Both have only one year left.
I raised
The market has started strong with the incorporations of Roberto Soldado and Enric Franquesa, but reinforcements are expected in all lines. After the departures of Rochina, Toño and Doukouré, names like Hernani, Sergio León, Koke or Vukcevic face the same fate.
Getafe
It needs to be reinforced on all lines. In defense they will sign a right back and at least one center-back with a good ball out. They are looking for a middle center and two or three wing or inside players. Finally, it is essential to sign two forwards. A pure nine and another that handles well between the lines. They do not have any of those who return after assignment and look for a way out
Alaves
Look for a center back, a creative medium, two wingmen and a forward. The intention is not to buy, but to be reinforced with assignments.
Elche
It must be reinforced on all lines. Escribá's squad needs goalkeepers, centrals, wings, pivots and, at least, one winger and one forward. The club still doubts whether to exercise the Mojica option or not. Of those who finished their contract, only Barragán and Dani Calvo have any option to continue.
Spanish
The ‘signing’ that Espanyol most strongly yearns for is the renewal of Puado, with a contract in force until 2022, which has been negotiated since February. The other great search in this market is for a positional midfielder, with candidates on the radar like Morlanes or Gabriel Pires. A left-handed side is not ruled out, as well as any sale for convenience, with Pedrosa – due to the net benefit that his condition as a youth squad would give – in the showcase. And, to lighten chips, look for the club for transfers for players like Vadillo or Vargas.
Majorca
Mollejo will continue another year on loan and they have signed Amath until 2025. Greif and Ángel are interested. Parrera, Sené and Zlatanovic are low.
Lightning
The continuity of Iraola will be the basis of the project. The thickness of the template will remain. They have executed the purchase option for Fran García and are looking for strikers. There will be departures (Advíncula, Morro, Martín and Montiel).
