🎁 Which signings are LaLiga clubs asking Father Christmas for?

Winter is coming and a new transfer window is already stirring in Spanish football, giving clubs the chance to address their shortcomings, fix what went wrong in the summer, and aim for everything in the second half of the season.

These are the signings each team in the league needs:

Alavés

The Glorioso needs to sign a center-back after Garcés’ suspension and perhaps a striker to make up for Mariano’s poor performance.

The goal is to stay up, and although Coudet’s side are showing good signs, they should use January to strengthen. 

Athletic Club

There’s nothing more to burn. No major moves are expected in the winter market at San Mamés, apart from a possible loan. Urko Vera, maybe? 

Atlético de Madrid

Watch out for possible departures of Raspadori and Sorloth, as both would hurt, especially the Norwegian’s exit. 

Cholo would greatly benefit from signing a left-back, given Ruggeri’s poor performance in that position. 

Barcelona

The absence of Christensen and uncertainty over Araujo force Deco to look for center-backs. Names like Senesi, De Vrij, Otamendi, or Guehi are being mentioned. Barça is looking for established players.

Celta de Vigo

Marco Garcés has been saying he doesn’t expect major moves in the winter market, although several players could leave to free up space. An attacking midfielder, as Giráldez wanted? Maybe Fer López… 

Elche CF

There’s little the Franjiverde team can improve, but they must ensure the continuity of their summer signings, and barring any surprises, no major moves are expected. 

Espanyol

Few moves are expected, although Espanyol could improve their squad depth on the wings. Raúl Moro on the left?

Getafe CF

Bordalás is well aware that the team needs reinforcements, yet again. In defense and especially up front, where bringing in two strikers would be sensible. David Soria has already spoken out.

Girona FC

They need a goalkeeper like they need air. Gazzaniga is a gamble and Livakovic is not in the plans. They should look for a defensive midfielder and more reliability at the back in the market. 

Levante UD

They need creativity in midfield and probably on the wings as well. 

RCD Mallorca

Arrasate would be much more at ease with a creative midfielder, and that should be a task to complete this winter. 

Osasuna

The Navarrese need creativity behind the striker and a center-back to add depth to the squad and stay in the division. Osasuna has the tools to move well in the market.

Rayo Vallecano

An attacking player, since Alemao hasn’t worked out, and more squad depth to secure survival.

Real Betis Balompié

Betis shouldn’t weaken their attack (Pablo García won’t leave and Lo Celso shouldn’t either), and in fact, they need a striker who can improve on what Ávila has offered, as he’s rumored to go out on loan. 

Real Madrid

No moves are expected, given Real Madrid’s traditional reluctance to the winter market, but the team needs at least a center-back and a midfielder to direct play. 

Real Oviedo

This is the team that needs to shake up the market the most, as they made big mistakes in the summer. Fonseca will arrive for the midfield, but they need at least a striker, two wingers, and a right-back.

Real Sociedad

The old need for a striker is still present in Donosti, and Sadiq is also set to leave.

Sevilla FC

They want to move out two players to sign Wahi and strengthen up front.

Valencia CF

Valencia needs a striker, maybe Sadiq, a center-back, a central midfielder, and a right-back. That seems like too many moves for a Peter Lim-run team…

Villarreal CF

Marcelino has a great squad with few needs, although players like Salomon or Altimira could leave.
