LaLiga goes on sale: 'free' signings dominate the market

While in the Premier League the Manchester United has spent more than 90 million euros in Jadon Sancho, the City plans to do the same with Harry Kane and Chelsea pretends 'break the market' with Erling Haaland, in LaLiga the majority of clubs follow suffering the effects of the pandemia. In Spain there is not money and until the big like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are with the 'way save' lit.

Of the 60 signings that there has been in the Spanish championship, until 30 have been incorporations to cost zero of players that have finished agreement with his previous teams, whereas 9 have been cessions. In total, only there have been 21 signings, with a total cost of 111,5 million euros, the lowest figure in Spain to these heights from 2012. The teams are without money and therefore the market of 'free agents' is resulting the best solution.

In the case of the Barça, the culés is being the big hosts in LaLiga and three of his four signings until the moment have arrived to cost zero. Memphis Depay​, Eric García and the Kun Agüero landed in the Camp Nou free, whereas by Emerson Royal the Catalans had to disburse some 9 millions. On the other hand, the Madrid only has fichado to David Praises, 'galactic' that also arrived free of the Bayern of Munich.

The Athletic himself has done an important incorporation and has spent 35 millions in Rodrigo Of Paul. This movement is to date the most expensive of the Spanish market and only could surpass it the Madrid in case to fulfil the dream of fichar to Kylian Mbappé, something that every time seems more complicated. The Barcelona only will do some operation by means of barters, by what will not spend too money in what it subtracts of summer.

This repercute directly in the biggest, since Barça and Madrid are having problems in his 'operation gone out' by this reason. The Miralem Pjanic, Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti or Martin Braithwaite on the one hand, and the Isco Alarcón, Mariano Díaz or Marco Asensio by another, stick to his agreements and do not want to go.

"The footballers change of club to improve, but con this economic precariousness and the descent of conditions does not interest to the players move. They do not go to find a better agreement.
