TOP 10 NEW TRANSFERS/PLAYERS IN LA LIGA
KYLIAN MBAPPE (REAL MADRID)
Any Top 10 new list regarding new transfers or players in La Liga in this new season will not be complete without Real Madrid’s biggest summer transfer acquisition Kylian Mbappe.
Furthermore, the 25-year-old French forward made heads turn when he left Ligue I powerhouse Paris Saint Germain (PSG).
He then signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid on June 3.
Mbappe’s entry boosted Real Madrid’s odds of defending its title by -400 odds.
This topped rivals FC Barcelona (+350), Atletico Madrid (+1000), Athletic Bilbao (+3300), and Real Sociedad (+5000).
Mbappe made his Real Madrid debut in the 2024 UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta.
He scored the team’s second goal in its 2-0 victory on August 14.
Moreover, the Frenchman would later make his La Liga debut in a drawn match against Mallorca on August 18.
ENDRICK (REAL MADRID)
Any Top 10 new transfers/players’ list will feature another Real Madrid acquisition in Endrick.
Moreover, the 18-year-old Brazilian striker made a giant leap from Brazilian club Palmeiras to Real Madrid on a six-year deal on July 19.
Furthermore, Endrick became the youngest Brazilian national team footballer to score in a friendly against England at Wembley Stadium on March 23.
Expect the rising Brazilian star to team up perfectly with fellow new transfer acquisition Mbappe.
The two seek another title for manager Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season.
JULIAN ALVAREZ (ATLETICO MADRID)
Add to the top 10 new list Julian Alvarez, the Argentinian who seeks to make a seamless transfer to the La Liga stage.
Furthermore, the 24-year-old forward took his talents from Manchester City to Atletico.
He signed a six-year deal with a transfer fee ranging from £75 million to £95 million.
The deal became a club-record departure for City, as Alvarez hopes to form a strategic partnership with fellow new transferee Robin Le Normand at Atletico.
DANI OLMO (BARCELONA)
Barcelona also found success during the summer transfer window after the club signed Spanish midfielder Dani Olmo away from German side RB Leipzig.
Moreover, it was a homecoming for the 26-year-old Terrassa native, after he started in Barcelona’s youth academy when he was nine years old.
Furthermore, Olmo is looking to sustain his four-year run from Leipzig to Barcelona.
He signed a six-year contract with a transfer fee estimated from €55 million to €60 million.
MARC BERNAL (BARCELONA)
Expect Barcelona to succeed in molding one of its homegrown talents Marc Bernal from the youth team to a promising senior career.
Moreover, the 17-year-old defensive midfielder is seen to thrive from starting with La Masia at age six to bigger responsibilities with his La Liga team.
Furthermore, the 6-foot-3 Bernal should have a breakout season under new Barcelona manager Hansi Flick as Gavi and Frenkie de Jong remain unavailable.
ALVARO DJALO (ATHLETIC BILBAO)
Another Spanish footballer who’s seen to make a breakout year in La Liga will be new Athletic Bilbao forward Alvaro Djalo.
Furthermore, the 25-year-old Madrid native is seen to continue his development from Portuguese club Braga to Athletic in the new La Liga season.
Moreover, Djalo signed a deal with Athletic for a transfer fee worth €15 million.
The La Liga side looks for an able replacement for Nico Williams.
Furthermore, a preseason injury in a friendly against Aston Villa might slow Djalo down.
But expect him to return to harness later this month.
SERGIO GOMEZ (REAL SOCIEDAD)
Real Sociedad didn’t go home empty-handed during the summer transfer window after the club acquired Sergio Gomez from Manchester City.
The 23-year-old Spanish midfielder or wing-back is coming back to play in Spain from Barcelona’s youth team in 2010.
He gained stints with German side Borussia Dortmund Belgian club Anderlecht and the Premier League with City.
Furthermore, Real Sociedad locked in Gomez with a transfer fee of reportedly €9 million.
LUKA SUCIC (REAL SOCIEDAD)
Another key piece Real Sociedad acquired during the summer transfer window aside from Gomez was Austrian-born footballer Luka Sucic.
Moreover, the 21-year-old Croatian professional footballer is taking his act from Red Bull Salzburg to Sociedad with a transfer fee of €10 million.
Sucic hopes to carry the momentum from his productive stints with the Croatia Under-15 squad in 2017 to the U-21 squad in 2021.
HUGO NOVOA (DEPORTIVO ALAVES)
Deportivo Alaves had a modest haul during the summer transfer window.
The club hopes to get a major lift from Spanish right-back Hugo Novoa.

Villarreal is coming into the new La Liga season with five new transfer acquisitions.
The arrival of Willy Kambwala brought the most potential for the club.
