A round-up of the latest goings on in the transfer window, as La Liga sides look to strengthen ahead of the new season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Alaves<\/h2>\n

Alaves have loaned forward Asier Villalibre to Racing Santander for the season. Goalkeeper Adrian Fernandez will also spend this year on loan at Real Zaragoza. They have also done a deal for 19-year-old Argentine midfielder Gustavo Albarracin, with Talleres retaining a 15% sell-on profit fee.<\/p>\n

Celta Vigo<\/h2>\n

Celta Vigo after a long wait have completed the signing of Borja Iglesias from Real Betis, who spent last season on loan at Balaidos. Iglesias returns home for \u20ac2m on a two-year deal.<\/p>\n

Getafe<\/h2>\n

Getafe have completed the sale of Omar Alderete to Sunderland for \u20ac11.6m, with Jose Bordalas losing his defensive leader.<\/p>\n

Girona<\/h2>\n

Girona have brought in a veteran presence in Axel Witsel, who arrives on a free after leaving Atletico Madrid. The 36-year-old signs a one-year deal with Girona.<\/p>\n

The Catalan side also have a 10% sell-on fee on AS Roma forward Artem Dovbyk, who is up for sale. Villarreal enquired about the Ukrainian forward, but Sport<\/a> say a move to the Premier League is more likely. Everton are best placed for a deal, which could be as much as \u20ac40m, with West Ham United and Leeds United also interested.<\/p>\n

Osasuna<\/h2>\n

According to Matteo Moretto, Osasuna are in talks with Cesar Azpilicueta over a return to the club. He is currently a free agent after leaving Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

Rayo Vallecano<\/h2>\n

After missing out on Nobel Mendy<\/a>, Rayo have brought in Castellon left-back Jozhua Vertrouwd on loan with a \u20ac1.25m obligation to buy. The Dutch defender can play in central defence too.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Moretto also reports that a deal for Valencia winger Fran Perez is a question of time. He will sign a four-year deal with Rayo.<\/p>\n

RCD Mallorca<\/h2>\n

Despite heavy links to Real Betis, RCD Mallorca have secured the loan of Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph<\/a> until the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Real Betis<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been a week of exits for Betis. Before Iglesias, Romain Perraud signed for Lille for \u20ac3m, and will be followed by Mendy. Goalkeeper Fran Vieites has also terminated his contract with Betis.<\/p>\n

Real Oviedo<\/h2>\n

Real Oviedo have completed the signing of Ovie Ejaria, after the former Liverpool midfielder spent the last month on trial<\/a>. He was a free agent last year.<\/p>\n

Sevilla<\/h2>\n

Sevilla have brought in Newcastle United goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos on a season-long loan. Sport<\/a> also say that a \u20ac25m move for Loic Bade to join Bayer Leverkusen is at an advanced stage, which may well be to their benefit, given their registration situation<\/a>. His replacement, reports Moretto<\/a>, could be Roma defender Marash Kumbulla, who will leave the Italian side. They face competition from Alaves and RCD Mallorca though.<\/p>\n

Valencia<\/h2>\n

Valencia have wrapped up the signing of Villarreal forward Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal on a free, although the Yellow Submarine could earn add-ons from the deal. The Dutch forward arrives after a tough season at Girona on loan.<\/p>\n

Going the other way is Cenk Ozkacar, who has joined Koln on loan for the season, with a fee of \u20ac225k.<\/p>\n
