Sergi Darder (midfielder, Espanyol, 29)
He is a well-known player in Ligue 1 following his mixed spell at OL, but above all he has become a superb player and a reference in La Liga, at Espanyol. The 29-year-old midfielder is clearly in his prime and is still coming off a great season despite the relegation of his team, so much so that he was a serious candidate to be in the group of the Spanish selection which won the League of Nations. Nations at the end of the season. A very intelligent midfielder with creative abilities well above average, but also a player capable of scoring great goals from long shots, as evidenced by his 6 goals this season. He is coveted by virtually all La Liga clubs and his clause is only 10 million euros following the relegation of the Catalan team.
Lucas Boyé (striker, Elche, 27)
He, too, had a fairly decent season on an individual level, but disastrous on a collective level, since Elche will play in the second division next season. Lucas Boyé, 27 years old, is looking for a new challenge. A striker with a fairly complete and rather robust profile, he is as good with the ball at his feet as in aerial play, and can therefore often drop out to participate in the game and create gaps. He can play alone up front or in support of another offensive player. Coveted by Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla in the past, the one who scored 7 goals this season will be available for a fairly honest price this summer.
Lucas Robertone (midfielder, Almeria, 26)
It was one of the revelations of the season. The former player of Vélez Sarsfield corresponds to the middle with the profile of an Argentinian midfielder who sacrifices himself for the team, multiplying the runs and sometimes playing on the limit, but rather friendly with the ball. A box to box profile which is quite rare in Spain, and which allows him to surprise his opponents on races where he arrives launched to hurt around the opposing surface. His 7 assists this season are no coincidence. Several clubs like Feyenoord have recently shown interest in the player who is expected to join a more upscale club this season. Notice to those interested…
Cyle Larin (striker, Valladolid, 28)
He arrived in Valladolid this winter, and scored 8 goals and delivered 3 assists in a team with very poor attacking animation, and relegated at the end of the season. Excellent in a role of surface fox, the Canadian was bought by Valladolid who activated his purchase option of 1.5 million euros… to resell it in stride and make a capital gain. Many La Liga clubs, seduced by his ease of movement in the rival box and his power in the last meters, have already come to the news.
Thomas Lemar (midfielder, Atlético de Madrid, 27)
He is the most highly rated player on the list, but with some effort, a top club in Ligue 1 could very well attract him. And for good reason, he is not considered essential at Atlético de Madrid and the Rojiblancos need to sell to strengthen other positions. An ideal context to get a player who, after a few satisfactory seasons in Madrid, had a little more difficulty during the past exercise, and also had some physical glitches. But his talent is indisputable, and he was able to show it in Madrid on several occasions before arriving at this end of the cycle, and he can render great services to practically all the clubs playing Europe in Ligue 1.
André Almeida (midfielder, Valencia, 23)
He was probably not expected at such a level, but after only one season in Valencia, the Portuguese international hopeful has convinced everyone. A silky player, very comfortable technically and intelligent, he has established himself as one of the best midfielders in La Liga. Good in a register of torchbearer but also able to play in 10 or falling a little on one side, he inevitably recalls the André Gomes of the good era. The financial situation of his club means that any interesting offer for him will be seriously considered, and clubs looking for quality reinforcements in the middle would be well advised to look into his case…
Samuel Lino (winger, Atlético de Madrid, 23)
He too was one of the few satisfactions of the season in Valencia, but he belongs to Atlético de Madrid. Only, in Madrid, places are quite expensive and even if Diego Simeone wants to stay, his place in the workforce is not guaranteed. Samuel Lino is an extremely differential winger, quick and capable of eliminating his opponents in a pocket handkerchief. If there are still points where he must improve, it is a diamond in the rough which perfectly represents the Brazilian footballer who is happy playing and who does not hesitate to take risks with the ball.
Joseph Aidoo (defender, Celta de Vigo, 27)
According to the Spanish press, he asked to leave Vigo this summer. And the Ghanaian defender would be a good reinforcement for many clubs, in France as elsewhere. A very sturdy and solid hinge player in his area, he excels in duels and aerial play. He has been the best defender for the Galician team in recent seasons, and clearly has his place in a team playing in Europe.
Borja Mayoral (striker, Getafe, 26)
He expressed his desire to leave Getafe because of complicated relations with Pepe Bordalas, the coach of the club in the southern suburbs of Madrid. But Mayoral has proven in recent years to be a good striker, and he still managed to score 8 goals this season, playing in support of Enes Unal, the offensive reference of the Azulones. He can also play alone up front, and his ball-to-foot qualities make him a very complete and reliable striker. If he has not yet lived up to the expectations we had when he first started at Real Madrid, he remains a player capable of scoring around ten goals per season in a team playing an attacking game.
Largie Ramazani (winger, Almeria, 22)
His season had started with a bang, before entering the ranks a little. But the Belgian winger has everything to shine at the highest level. A particularly fast player and dribbler on the flanks, he can set fire to a defense on his own. Admittedly, he must make progress in the last gesture, among other things, but can clearly be this differential player that sports directors are looking for in search of attacking players. His calls also hurt the opposing defensive lines very badly. He makes us think, all things considered of course, of Vinicius Junior. We wish him to reach even half the level of the Brazilian!
