As August continues, there are just a few weeks left until the 2026 summer transfer window closes. There’s still time for teams to sign new players before the window closes, but several clubs have already done a great job this summer. With that in mind, we’re taking a look at some of the most notable signings that have already been finalized in LALIGA EA SPORTS.
Of course, there’s the case of Yan Diomande, who was Real Madrid’s big splash, but others have also turned heads.
Marc Cucurella (Real Madrid)
Real Madrid finalized the signing of Marc Cucurella from Chelsea before the World Cup, and that move may have been a masterstroke. After winning the tournament as one of Spain’s best players, his market value would surely have risen if Los Blancos had waited. Cucurella is one of the best left backs in the world, with an incredible ability to cover the entire wing, so Real Madrid is adding a top-tier player who also knows La Liga very well thanks to his stints with SD Eibar and Getafe CF.
Kang-in Lee (Atlético de Madrid)
After being part of the Paris Saint-Germain team that won two consecutive Champions Leagues, Kang-in Lee has left the French club to return to Spain, where he previously played for Valencia CF and RCD Mallorca. He will now wear the red-and-white jersey of Atlético de Madrid and will undoubtedly be a very interesting option for Diego Simeone.
Anthony Gordon (FC Barcelona)
Anthony Gordon is ready to take on a new challenge in his career after leaving the Premier League to sign with FC Barcelona. The English international quickly won over his new fans by speaking in Spanish and Catalan during his introduction, showing that he’s ready to adapt and fit into Hansi Flick’s system. Capable of playing in various attacking positions, the 25-year-old is a highly valuable asset.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (RC Deportivo)
Newly promoted RC Deportivo made headlines by announcing the signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a veteran forward who has played for clubs including Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, and FC Barcelona. At 37, he may have lost some speed, but he’ll bring experience and the goal-scoring instinct of a true No. 9 to Galicia, as Los Herculinos look to establish themselves in the top flight.
Ibrahima Konaté (Real Madrid)
Real Madrid is having a very active transfer window. In addition to the aforementioned Marc Cucurella, Los Blancos have also signed Bernardo Silva, Denzel Dumfries, Carlos Espí, and Ibrahima Konaté. Of all these signings, the arrival of the French center back may be one of the most significant. Considered one of the best center backs in the world, he will help Los Blancos shore up a defense that struggled last season.
Fran García (Real Betis)
One of the defenders who has left Real Madrid is Fran García, who has signed with Real Betis. There, he’ll continue to compete in the Champions League and will be able to keep showcasing his skills as an attacking left back at the highest level. At just 26 years old, the Spaniard still has much of his career ahead of him and will look to make the most of this fresh start in Seville.
Sergio Canales (Real Racing Club)
Sergio Canales is back in Spain and his hometown of Santander. The 35-year-old has returned after his stint in Mexico to sign with Real Racing Club and help keep his lifelong club in the top flight. The midfielder previously shone with Los Verdiblancos in the top flight and is a true idol on the Cantabrian coast.
Alejandro Grimaldo (Atlético de Madrid)
Atlético de Madrid already had several World Cup champions on its roster and has now added another with the signing of Spanish left back Alejandro Grimaldo. The versatile player arrives from Bayer Leverkusen, having previously enjoyed great success with Benfica. He has never played a match in the top tier of Spanish soccer, but that will change very soon.
Martín Satriano (Getafe CF)
Some clubs have made permanent the loan signings of players who were already part of their rosters last season. This is the case with Getafe CF and Martín Satriano. After joining midway through last season and scoring six goals in La Liga—helping Los Azulones qualify for European competition—the Uruguayan forward will remain at the Coliseum. His permanent transfer from Lyon ensures that Getafe CF will have a top-tier offensive threat for years to come.
Karim Adeyemi (FC Barcelona)
Karim Adeyemi has shone in recent seasons with Borussia Dortmund, to the point of earning a transfer to FC Barcelona. The German international has stated that joining Spotify Camp Nou is a dream come true, and he will aim to become one of Hansi Flick’s key attacking options for the Blaugrana.
