The market shut up shop this Tuesday in the league with 26 deals, a growing sense of inferiority compared to the spending power of competitions like the Premier League, and some very interesting last-minute bombshells.
The first signing came at 10:40 (AarĂłn MartĂn to Racing); the last, just after one, when Betis made Ceballos official.

These were the main moves made by each of the LALIGA clubs:
Real Betis. The long-awaited Ceballos signs until 2029. The deal had been done for days, but official confirmation was dragging on.
FC Barcelona. Gabriel Jesus arrived on Monday but was made official on Tuesday, and they even had to wait until the stroke of midnight to see him registered in the league. Arsenal received 10 million plus variables, he signs for three seasons, and he has already given us a great moment.
RC Deportivo. Marc Casadó was registered minutes before the deadline. Loaned for one season, just like Giménez, who arrives from Atlético. A top-level window in their return to the top flight.
AtlĂ©tico de Madrid. In the end, the Tagliafico move did not come off, but Jonathan David did, on loan from Juventus with a âŹ25 million purchase option. He rounds out a forward line that already had JuliĂĄn Ălvarez, who confirmed he is not going anywhere.
Racing de Santander. The newly promoted side made three signings, all of them very sensible.

AarĂłn MartĂn and Betis player Pablo GarcĂa arrived on permanent deals, Almeida and Belocian on loan. In return, Gustavo Puerta left for Olympiacos.
Osasuna. They paid âŹ1.45 million for Romain del Castillo, a French forward from Brest.
Valencia. They made Harvey Elliott official, on loan from Liverpool without a purchase option. Once again, it leaves the feeling that the team is far too short to fight for survival.
Gourlay left the Mestalla offices with still two hours to go before the transfer window closed…
Sevilla. They added three loan signings in a single day: Correia, Stassin and Fofana.
Celta de Vigo. They strengthened the heart of their defense with Uruguayan SebastiĂĄn CĂĄceres until 2030. A beautiful surname if you love Celta’s colors.
Rayo Vallecano. They sorted out the goalkeeping position with Audero, on loan from Como after Batalla’s injury, and also added Sadick.

With âŹ40 million in sales, much more was expected from a Rayo window that, at the very least, managed to keep hold of Ratiu.
MĂĄlaga. They moved twice: Berrocal arrived on a free, Cajuste on loan with a purchase option.
Getafe. They brought in IvĂĄn AzĂłn on loan from Como. Power, youth and firepower for BordalĂĄs’s attack.
Elche. They were one of the most active clubs of the day, surely because they were also one of the most in need of signings.
Lemar, Rubén Sånchez, Revivo and Lomónaco arrived, while key figure Affengruber leaves for Fulham.
Espanyol. They strengthened the full-back position with Gorosabel, on loan from Athletic.
Levante. They added Ratkov, a Serbian striker on loan from Lazio.
At the opposite end of all this activity, Alavés, Athletic, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Villarreal did not make a single move on deadline day.

Athletic took that philosophy to the extreme and did not make a single signing all summer: “It’s a year without Europe and the club had to rein in that market,” explained Mikel GonzĂĄlez.
