A recap of some of the deals – and potential deals – from around La Liga lately, with plenty going on.
Athletic Club have loaned Unai Nunez from Celta Vigo, after two seasons in Galicia. He originally made the opposite switch for €7m.
Celta Vigo veteran Kevin Vazquez has joined Sporting Gijon on a free after 152 appearances and 13 years at the club.
Espanyol are set to bring in 21-year-old Ajax winger Naci Unuvar on a year-long loan deal. TV3 note that Los Pericos hope to retain him beyond that date though.
Meanwhile Napoli forward Walid Cheddira has joined on loan for the season. The 26-year-old Italo-Moroccan has six caps for the Atlas Lions.
Getafe are moving for Real Betis winger Assane Diao on loan, say Relevo. They are favourites for his signature, but Betis also have offers from Real Valladolid, Hoffenheim and Alaves. Diao is yet to make a call.
Centre-back Enrique Clemente has joined Real Zaragoza on a season-long loan.
Leganes are hoping to improve their defence with the signing of Matija Nastasic, report Relevo, who is a free agent. The 31-year-old left RCD Mallorca last season after 32 appearances, but is keen to stay in Spain.
Real Sociedad playmaker Robert Navarro has already agreed to join Athletic Club on a free in 2025, and the Txuri-Urdin had planned to have him in the stands for a year. La Real have allowed him out the door though and he has joined RCD Mallorca on a free on a one-year deal, tying him over until a switch to Bilbao.
Real Betis star Nabil Fekir is set to bring his five-year stint at Betis to an end, as he signs a deal with Al-Jazira in the UAE. The 31-year-old will leave for €7m, with two years left on his Betis seal. They are moving for Dani Ceballos and Giovani Lo Celso with the money that will bring in.
Seeing that Andriy Lunin is staying at the club, alternative option Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined Bournemouth on loan.
Valencia are still trying to bring in a midfielder, and it appears their move for Enzo Barrenechea on a loan deal from Aston Villa is back on. Relevo say that other options have been identified, such as Sevilla’s Joan Jordan, Brentford’s Frank Onyeka and Levante midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili.
