The final day of the transfer window in Spain delivered a string of shocks and last‑minute moves that kept fans on edge. FC Barcelona emerged as a major supporter of the closing phase, thanks to a loan deal that extended their involvement in the sprint to the finish. Joao Felix extended his Atletico Madrid contract for two more years before heading out on loan, and the saga around Joao Cancelo’s move from Manchester City added another layer of intrigue. In addition, official confirmations came for Eric García’s switch to Girona, Ansu Fati’s move to Brighton, and Clement Lenglet’s transfer to Aston Villa. The sale of Abde to Betis for 7.5 million euros was completed, with Barcelona retaining 50 percent of any future sale value of the Moroccan forward.
Sevilla was among the most active clubs, driven by a poor start to the campaign that left them at the foot of the table after three winless matches. The team acted late in the window, signing Mariano Diaz, a former Real Madrid striker who became a free agent after leaving the capital club. They also sealed a loan deal for French midfielder Boubakary Soumaré from Leicester City, with a 15 million euro option to buy. On the other hand, the contract termination of Argentine Papu Gómez, the sale of Tecatito Corona to Monterrey, and Óscar Rodríguez’s move to Getafe rounded out their activity.
The Madrid club drew attention not for the capture of a player from Toledo or Diego Rico from Real Sociedad, but for the controversial loan of Mason Greenwood from Manchester United. The England international, a previous member of the national team, became involved in a gender‑based violence dispute following posts by his former partner. Although charges were dropped in February, the decision at Old Trafford pointed toward redeploying the striker to another club to continue his career.
Portu left Getafe and returned to Girona for the next four seasons. The Catalan club also signed 18‑year‑old Colombian midfielder John Solís and paid Atlético Nacional about 5 million euros to secure his transfer.
Winger Álvaro Odriozola returned to Real Sociedad, signing through 2029, while Valencia bolstered their squad with Ukrainian forward Roman Yaremchuk on a one‑season loan from Bruges. Mallorca also salvaged defender Matija Nastasic for a new chapter. In June, Vicente Guaita ended his contract with Crystal Palace to reinforce Celta’s goalkeeping setup. Cádiz completed a loan for winger Robert Navarro from the Basque club.
While rumors swirled about Real Madrid bringing in another number nine, the club’s final day activity consisted of a single move: Reinier’s loan to Frosinone. The Merengues, despite a record‑setting 103 million euro transfer for Jude Bellingham, did not expand dealmaking on this closing day.
Overall, the Spanish league hosted 109 transfers, with 41 of them occurring at zero cost. According to Be Soccer Pro, 34 deals included an option to buy, and league clubs collectively invested 416.1 million euros. Alavés and Getafe led in number of signings with 11 apiece, while Villarreal emerged as the top revenue generator with 109.5 million euros.
