ONES TO WATCH

Dani Ceballos (Real Madrid)

At the start of last season, he wasn’t playing for Betis; by the summer, he had Barcelona and Madrid fighting over his signature.

nelson Semedo (Barcelona)

Barca will hope they have finally found a replacement for Dani Alves – and one that will allow them to put Sergio Roberto back in midfield.

Isco (Real Madrid)

So, is this the year that Isco – who was wonderful in the decisive weeks last year – finally takes centre stage for a full season?

Dani PaCheCo (Getafe)

Achieved two successive promotions, first at Alaves, then with Getafe, for whom he was the play-off hero.

Pedro leon (Eibar)

Jose Luis Mendilibar stays at Eibar, which is great for a player who admits the coach has got more out of him than anyone else.

Gerard Deulofeu (Barcelona)

Returns to Barca, but will he get opportunities? And if so, will he be able to settle and perform consistently?

Sergio leon (Real Betis)

The one bright point of Osasuna’s season and a man with the talent and skill to be a hit if Betis can build a team that supplies him.

Augusto Fernandez (Atletico Madrid)

Injury ruled him out for the whole of last season. Now fit again, can he raise the level of the Atletico midfield?

Vitolo Las Palmas

Will be on a sixmonth loan in the Canaries before moving to Atletico Madrid having decided to leave Sevilla this summer.

Alvaro Negredo (Valencia)

Once a striker who seemed to have it all, but Valencia will be looking to send him elsewhere to rediscover his form.
