FC Bayern Muenchen v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - Bundesliga
La Liga clubs are not lagging behind in the transfer market

The 2018 FIFA World Cup has dominated the summer so far, stealing attention and overshadowing transfer activities. Many football fans have fixed their focus on the tournament in Russia and therefore they know very little about the activities of their favorite clubs in the market.

Yet business is progressing during the window as many clubs involve themselves heavily in transfer activities. The likes of Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City have all recruited new faces this summer.

While the English Premier League clubs have been at the forefront, everyone knows quite well that the Spanish clubs are the champions of the transfer market, with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid often signing the brightest superstars every season.

With many big names linked with a move to La Liga, we take a look at 4 incredible superstars who could complete famous moves to the Spanish top flight this summer.


#4 Michy Batshuayi

Chelsea v Newcastle United - The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round
Lack of opportunity could force the Belgian away from Stamford Bridge

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi could leave the Premier League this summer amidst uncertainties surrounding his role at Stamford Bridge. The Belgian joined the Blues during the summer of 2016, but after failing to break into the first team last term, he completed a loan move to Borussia Dortmund last term.

The attacker established himself immediately after joining the German outfit, bagging 9 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances for BVB. With his loan move now over, Batshuayi is now back at Chelsea and is currently considering his future at the club.

Spanish outfit Sevilla FC have been monitoring the player for quite some time and his performances in the Bundesliga last season has reportedly spawned their interest to lure him to the Spanish League.

Batshuayi would find it very difficult to secure a place for himself in the Chelsea lineup, with Alvaro Morata and Oliver Giroud considered stronger options at Stamford Bridge. This could force the Belgian out of London and a move to Sevilla could end up happening this summer.

Bayern Munich superstar David Alaba is one of the incredible players that could end up completing famous moves to La Liga this summer.

His incredible performances at the Allianz Arena has reportedly attracted the interest of Barcelona, who are keen to add him to their all-star squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.

The defender has been a real influence in the Bundesliga, earning a reputation as one of the finest ball-playing defenders in Europe.

His ability to impress in both offensive and defensive duties as well as operating in multiple areas of the pitch has gotten Barcelona's attention and The Blaugrana have wasted no time in adding him to their wish list.

In fact, a deal for the Austrian International could take place this summer, with Sky Sports recently reporting that the Catalans are already preparing a bid worth 50million euros for the defender.

#2 Robert Lewandowski

The Bayern Munich superstar could join Real Madrid this summer

La Liga clubs are well known for signing high profile attackers from the transfer market, with the likes of Neymar, James Rodriguez, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho completing famous moves to the Spanish League in recent years.

One of such incredible superstars that could switch to the division this summer is Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.

Following the gradual decline of Karim Benzema at Real Madrid, it is now a necessity for Los Blancos to sign a world-class striker to replace the Frenchman at the Santiago Bernabeu. This has reportedly led them to identify the Bayern Munich ace, Robert Lewandowski as the perfect option to represent them up front.

Lewandowski was the most prolific attacker in The Bundesliga last term, bagging 29 goals in 30 appearances for the Bavarians.

His incredible ability to send the ball into the back of the net as well as influence important games makes him one of the most influential attackers in Europe at the moment. The Polish striker would be a realistic target for Real Madrid as his agent recently refused to rule out a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

#1 Christian Eriksen

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final
A perfect replacement for Andres Iniesta at the Camp Nou

Catalan giants FC Barcelona have been working tirelessly in the transfer market ever since club legend Andres Iniesta departed the Camp Nou recently.

After 22 years of incredible service, the Spaniard decided to quit the Catalan capital by completing a move to join Japanese side, Vissel Kobe.

This has put the Blaugrana in a desperate situation to find a world-class midfielder to replace the Spaniard ahead of the next campaign. Tottenham Hotspur superstar, Cristian Eriksen is reportedly a top target of the Catalans at the moment, with a deal worth £100 million being planned.

Eriksen could help Barcelona overcome their midfield woes, with his incredible ability - he could dictate play and influence games from the middle of the pitch. His amazing vision, decent passing, and intelligent movement make him an ideal replacement for Iniesta at the Camp Nou.
