The top 10 transfers so far in LaLiga

Several summer transfers have already been announced by LaLiga EA SPORTS clubs, and here is a look at 10 of the highest-profile moves so far.

Álex Baena (Atlético de Madrid)

Álex Baena was one of the best players in LaLiga last season, with his seven goals and 10 assists helping Villarreal CF to qualify for the Champions League. Now, the player who turns 24 this summer has switched clubs and joined Atlético de Madrid, offering Diego Simeone a luxury option in attack heading into next season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid)

One of the biggest acquisitions in all of world football this summer has been Real Madrid’s capture of English right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold. After spending his entire career so far at Liverpool, the 26-year-old felt it was time for a new challenge and decided to bring his incredible offensive skills to the Bernabéu. Already, he has been able to represent his new team at the Club World Cup, where he has been catching the eye.

Alberto Moleiro (Villarreal CF)

Even though UD Las Palmas suffered relegation last season, Alberto Moleiro stood out positively on an individual level. The 21-year-old winger scored six goals for the Canary Islanders, so several clubs were willing to offer him the chance to stay in LaLiga. Ultimately, he accepted the offer of Villarreal CF, where he’ll link up with their wide array of attacking talents.

Matteo Ruggeri (Atlético de Madrid)

Atlético de Madrid have brought in Italian player Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta. The player, who turns 23 this summer, becomes just the second Italian currently in LaLiga, alongside Rayo Vallecano’s Luiz Felipe. Able to play on the left wing or at left-back, as well as across other positions in the defence, Ruggeri is an especially versatile player, so he should be extra useful in Diego Simeone’s tactical schemes.

Joan García (FC Barcelona)

FC Barcelona have a new goalkeeper, having signed the extremely talented Joan García. By depositing the 24-year-old’s release clause, Los Azulgranas were able to prize Joan García away from city rivals RCD Espanyol. Given that he made a league-high 145 saves last season, the Catalan player certainly knows how to save his team at the back.

Dean Huijsen (Real Madrid)

One of Real Madrid’s priorities this summer was to strengthen their defence and they’ve signed centre-back Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth as part of this mission. The 20-year-old has already made three appearances for the Spanish national team and arrives in the Spanish capital with huge potential.

Ferran Jutglà (RC Celta)

As RC Celta prepare to return to Europe in 2025-26, they’ve added depth in attack by bringing in Ferran Jutglà. The 26-year-old Spanish centre-forward was in high demand, after scoring 40 goals for Club Brugge in 148 appearances, but it was the Galician club who won the race for his signature.

Álvaro Valles (Real Betis)

Álvaro Valles didn’t play at all last season, but Real Betis know how good the goalkeeper is given that he came through their academy several years ago. He then made a name for himself at UD Las Palmas and now, at the age of 27, Valles is returning to the Andalusian capital to compete for the starting goalkeeping job at Los Verdiblancos.

Roberto Fernández (RCD Espanyol)

After arriving on loan at RCD Espanyol halfway through last season, Roberto Fernández helped Los Pericos to avoid relegation with his six league goals. Aware of the importance of the 22-year-old forward, the Catalan club turned his loan deal from SC Braga into a permanent move.

Franco Mastantuono (Real Madrid)

Franco Mastantuono is the latest talent to emerge from Argentina, and Real Madrid swooped in to secure his signature. Mastantuono doesn’t turn 18 until later this summer, but the creative talent has already caught the eye with his performances in midfield for River Plate. He has even made his debut for the national team and it’ll be fascinating to follow his rise with the Spanish giants.
