The Transfer Window Enters Its Final Stretch: This Is How Laliga’s Giants Stand
With a week to go until the transfer window closes, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético de Madrid still have pending moves. Betis and Villarreal are also working on their final reinforcements to complete their squads.
Real Madrid
Homework practically done Real Madrid considers that it has already met its objectives after securing six signings, including the arrival of Mou
The club is satisfied with its squad planning and, barring an unexpected departure or a major injury, does not plan to make any further moves.
Barcelona
Pending a forward and a defender Barcelona still has work to do
The priority remains the addition of a center-forward, with Julián Álvarez as one of the options and a plan B in case that falls through. Additionally, the club is looking to reinforce the defense with a center-back or left-back. The defensive operation could be linked to potential departures of Alejandro Balde or Jules Koundé, while Marc Casadó and Héctor Fort are players slated to leave.
Atletico Madrid
Two attacking signings
Atletico Madrid is working on two additions for its attack. The main target for the striker position is Nicolas Jackson, while the club is also looking to finalize the return of Nico González. At the same time, the rojiblanca club needs to find destinations for four players: Giménez, Lemar, Carlos Martín, and Obed Vargas, either through a sale or a loan.
Real Betis
Ceballos and a defensive midfielder
Real Betis is focusing its efforts on clearing wage space to sign Dani Ceballos and a defensive midfielder. The favorite for that position is Sofyan Amrabat, although financial limitations are complicating the deal. To free up space, the club is working on the potential departures of Iker Losada, Gonzalo Petit, Pablo García, and Nelson Deossa.
Villarreal
Final reinforcement on track Villarreal decided not to wait until the last day and already has the signing of Canadian midfielder Nathan Saliba from Anderlecht well underway. The yellow submarine will pay 15 million euros for the 22-year-old player, who will arrive to complete the team's midfield. Thus, the coming days promise to be decisive: Real Madrid seems to have its market closed, while Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid could still star in some of the most important moves before the deadline.
