Berizzo named as new Sevilla coach
FC Sevilla have announced the appointment of Eduardo Berizzo as their new head coach.
The 47-year-old has reached an agreement over a 2-year contract and will finalise his move to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in the coming days.
Berizzo, who guided Celta Vigo to the Europa League semi-finals in 2016-2017, replaces Jorge Sampaoli, who has taken over as head coach of Argentina.
Griezmann signs Atletico contract extension
Antoine Griezmann has signed a new contract at Atletico Madrid running until 2022 to further underline his commitment to the La Liga club.
The forward has agreed to a deal that will reportedly see his wages doubled and keep him at the club for the next 5 years, while it is believed he will continue to be subject to a €100 million release clause.
Griezmann offered an apology to fans following persistent speculation over whether he would leave the club and insists he is happy to spend "one more season" in the Spanish capital.
Manchester United were heavily linked with a blockbuster move for Griezmann and the France international encouraged their interest by declaring he was ready to leave Atletico in the immediate aftermath of the season, rating a switch to Old Trafford at "6 out of 10".
However, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upholding Atleti's transfer ban for breaching FIFA regulations on the signing of youth players appeared to prompt a change of heart from the 26-year-old at the start of this month.
With Diego Simeone's side unable to register any new players until January, Griezmann tweeted: "Now more than ever Atleti".
The former Real Sociedad man scored 26 goals and supplied 12 assists for Atletico in 2016-2017, while his overall record for the club stands at 83 goals in 160 appearances.
Former Madrid defender Arbeloa retires
Former Liverpool, Real Madrid and West Ham defender Alvaro Arbeloa has announced his retirement.
The 34-year-old former Spain full-back made 3 Premier League appearances for the Hammers last season before being released.
He spent 3 years with the Reds before returning to Madrid, for whom he made his senior debut, in 2009.
Arbeloa won one La Liga title and the Champions League twice at Madrid before signing for West Ham last August.
"It's time to say goodbye", he said.
"Physically I was ok to keep playing."
He made more than 200 appearances in total for Liverpool, Real Madrid and West Ham between 2007 and 2017 and was capped 56 times by Spain.
He was part of his country's World Cup-winning squad in 2010 and helped them win the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.
Saul signs new Atletico deal
Saul Niguez has signed a huge new Atletico Madrid contract, with the reported FC Barcelona target extending his deal to 2026.
The 22-year-old already had a long-term deal at the club but has extended his contract for another 5 seasons ahead of Atleti's move to their new stadium, the Wanda Metropolitano.
Saul had long been linked with a move to Barca, with Manchester United also reportedly interested in bringing him to the Premier League, but Atleti were able to persuade the Spain international to commit his future to the club.
Saul claimed the Golden Boot for the 2017 UEFA European U21 Championship after netting 5 goals in Spain's run to the Final, where they lost 1-0 to Germany.
The midfielder hit a brilliant hat-trick in Spain's 3-1 semi-finals win against Italy and FC Barcelona were put on high alert when he subsequently told reporters he wanted "to earn a bit more money to be able to help out the family".
Atletico moved quickly to tie Saul down to fresh terms to fend off Barca and United and Saul will remain a key player in Diego Simeone's plans for the new La Liga season.
Atletico release Cerci
Atletico Madrid have officially released former Italy attacker Alessio Cerci on a free transfer.
Cerci joined Atleti from FC Torino in the summer of 2014 for €15 million but played just 11 times for Los Rojiblancos in a 3-year spell that included loan spells at AC Milan and Genoa.
Consequently, the decision has been taken not to extend the 30-year-old's contract.
"Alessio Cerci and our club have reached an agreement for the termination of the contract that had linked both parties since 1 September 2014", read a statement on Atletico's official website.
"Our club wants to wish Alessio luck in his next professional endeavour."
Torres signs one-year contract with Atletico
Fernando Torres has signed a one-year contract extension with Atletico Madrid for the forthcoming 2017-2018 season.
Former Spain striker Torres is in his second stint with his boyhood club, having re-joined from AC Milan in January 2015 on the back of wildly contrasting spells at Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League.
In total the 33-year-old has 105 goals for Atletico, including 28 under current coach Diego Simeone.
Torres largely serves as back-up to the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Kevin Gameiro nowadays but will continue to provide welcome squad depth for Simeone, with Atletico restricted by a transfer ban during the current close season.
Pepe won 13 trophies during his decade with Real Madrid.
A true great at the Bernabeu.
Rossi leaves Celta
Celta Vigo have confirmed striker Giuseppe Rossi has left the club after a season-long loan spell from Fiorentina, and is now a free agent.
The former Italian international signed a one-year deal with the Celestes last summer with the option of a further year inserted but injury problems have now left the 30-year-old without a club.
"Giuseppe Rossi will not continue with Celta next season", the club confirmed in a statement.
The American-born striker managed 18 La Liga appearances, scoring 4 times, for Celta following a previous loan stint at Levante.
Rossi ruptured his cruciate ligament in the second half of the season - the fifth serious injury of his career.
Bakambu renews Villarreal deal
Villarreal forward Cedric Bakambu has signed a 2-year contract extension that commits him to the La Liga club until 2022.
The DR Congo international scored 11 times in 26 appearances in Spain's top flight last season, with Premier League duo West Ham and Newcastle reportedly interested in his services.
But the 26-year-old will remain with Fran Escriba's side, who secured a place in the Europa League group stages with a fifth place finish in La Liga last term.
Bakambu joined the Yellow Submarine from Bursaspor in August 2015 and has scored 33 times across 84 matches in all competitions.
Depor confirm Adrian Lopez loan
Deportivo La Coruna have agreed a season-long loan deal for FC Porto striker Adrian Lopez, club president Tino Fernandez has confirmed.
The 29-year-old has spent the past 2 seasons on loan at Villarreal, but has managed only 6 La Liga goals across the two campaigns as he played a bit-part role.
Lopez spent 5 years with Depor at the beginning of his career before joining Atletico Madrid, with whom he won the 2014 title and despite moving permanently to Porto that summer, has failed to play regular football at Estadio Dragao.
Betis announce Boudebouz deal
Real Betis have completed the signing of playmaker Ryad Boudebouz from Montpellier in a deal believed to be in the region of €7 million.
The 27-year-old has signed a 4-year contract at Estadio Benito Villamarin and becomes the club's eighth summer signing.
Los Verdiblancos, not to be outdone in videos of new signings by city rivals FC Sevilla, announced the deal with a social media video with the soundtrack of Abba's "Voulez-Vous".
Boudebouz joins Jordi Amat, Antonio Barragan, Andres Guardado, Victor Camarasa, Sergio Leon, Zouhair Feddal and Cristian Tello as new arrivals at Betis this summer.
Ronaldo receives 5-match ban
Cristiano Ronaldo has been banned for 5 matches after being sent off and then pushing the referee in Real Madrid's 3-1 Supercopa de Espana first leg victory over FC Barcelona on Sunday.
The Portugal star played out a dramatic cameo at Camp Nou, coming off the bench to score a stunner before getting booked for removing his shirt in celebration.
He took a tumble in the box just 2 minutes later and earned a second yellow card for an apparent dive, but Ronaldo allowed his anger to get the better of him as he then pushed referee Ricardo de Burgos.
The 32-year-old Portugal international could have been suspended for a maximum of 12 games, but the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has opted to impose a 5-match ban.
Ronaldo and Madrid have 10 days to appeal against the sanction.
Should the ban stand, the star forward will miss the second leg of the Supercopa, followed by La Liga matches away to Deportivo La Coruna, at home to Valencia and Levante and away to Real Sociedad.
Rico extends Sevilla stay
Goalkeeper Sergio Rico has committed his future to FC Sevilla until 2021 after agreeing a 2-year extension to his existing deal.
The 23-year-old, a product of Los Rojiblancos' youth system, is highly rated and was linked with Liverpool as recently as last month.
But, having last penned fresh terms in January 2016, has now made his long-term plans clear by signing up to the La Liga club for the next 4 years.
Rico has won 2 Europa League titles with Sevilla and earned his first Spain cap last June.
Marca reports that Rico's new contract includes a rise in his release clause from €30 million to €40 million.
Ronaldo joins Cantona, Di Canio & Suarez in bumper ban brigade
Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss 5 matches at the start of the 2017-2018 season, but the Real Madrid superstar has escaped relatively lightly compared to some of the bans handed out to football's most famous bad boys.
Ronaldo came off the bench to score in a 3-1 Supercopa de Espana victory against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou on Sunday, picking up a yellow card for removing his shirt in celebration and then a second booking for simulation, before pushing the referee.
The 32-year-old striker has 10 business days in which to appeal, but, should the sanction stand, he will miss the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, followed by La Liga games against Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, Levante and Real Sociedad.
If the Portugal international considers himself hard done by, perhaps he should revisit some of the other hefty suspensions imposed for on-field misbehaviour.
Eric Cantona (1995) - 9 months
The Manchester United talisman narrowly avoided a custodial sentence and endured a lengthy enforced absence from competitive action for his spectacular, kung-fu kick assault on spectator Matthew Simmons after being sent off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in 1995.
Paolo Di Canio (1998) - 11 matches
After being sent off while playing for Sheffield Wednesday against Arsenal in September 1998, mercurial Italian striker Di Canio pushed referee Paul Alcock, who subsequently stumbled to the floor in comic fashion.
Luis Suarez (2010) - 7 matches
During his time at Ajax, Suarez received a 7-match ban from the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) for biting PSV's Otman Bakkal.
Luis Suarez (2011) - 8 matches
The Uruguay international was sanctioned by the Football Association after being accused of racially abusing Patrice Evra in a match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield in October 2011.
Joey Barton (2012) - 12 matches
Up against his former club Manchester City, QPR's Barton saw red for elbowing Carlos Tevez and then lashed out at Sergio Aguero and squared up to Vincent Kompany as he left the pitch, the FA taking a particularly dim view of those antics.
Luis Suarez (2013) - 10 matches
Suarez incurred the wrath of the FA again, this time earning a 10-game ban for appearing to bite Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic at Stamford Bridge in April 2013.
Luis Suarez (2014) - 4 months
This time it was FIFA who came down hard on Suarez, imposing a 4-month ban from any football activity and a 9-game international suspension, after the striker sunk his teeth into Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil. That did not stop FC Barcelona from splashing the cash to lure the marksman away from Anfield.
Boateng leaves Las Palmas
Kevin-Prince Boateng has left Las Palmas by mutual agreement, the La Liga club have announced.
The former AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder had 3 years to run on his deal with Las Palmas, having signed a contract extension in May.
But Las Palmas attributed the 30-year-old's departure to "personal reasons of an irreversible character".
Boateng joined the Canary Islanders last season and scored 10 goals in 28 La Liga appearances.
German newspaper Bild claim Eintracht Frankfurt hope to bring the ex-Hertha Berlin, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke man back to the Bundesliga, with the club's head coach Niko Kovac declaring Boateng is "on our radar".
Getafe sign Montero on loan
Jefferson Montero has joined Getafe from Swansea City on a season-long loan deal.
The Ecuador international signed a new contract at the Premier League club last September but then struggled for game-time in an injury-hit campaign.
Montero's most recent appearance for Swansea came against Manchester United in April, when he came off the bench only to succumb to injury 7 minutes later.
Joining Getafe represents a return to La Liga for the winger, who has previously had spells with Villarreal, Levante and Real Betis.
Las Palmas sign Remy
Loic Remy has joined Las Palmas on a free transfer from Chelsea, signing a 2-year deal.
The France international signed for Chelsea in 2014, but started just 9 Premier League games in 2 seasons before enduring an injury-hit loan spell at Crystal Palace in 2016-2017.
But Antonio Conte's men have now released Remy from his contract, which had one year to run, allowing him to join the La Liga club.
The forward joins Las Palmas as they sit bottom of the league table, losing their first 2 games of the season and scoring just once.
Campbell returns to Real Betis on loan
Arsenal forward Joel Campbell is "happy and proud" to be back at Real Betis after re-joining his former club on a season-long loan.
The Costa Rica international scored 2 goals in 28 appearances for the La Liga side in 2012-2013, one of several stints away from the Emirates Stadium.
Further loan spells with Olympiacos, Villarreal and Sporting Lisbon have failed to convince Arsene Wenger of his suitability for a first-team spot at Arsenal with the 25-year-old again deemed surplus to requirements.
Campbell, whose contract expires at the end of the season, becomes the second Arsenal player to re-join a Spanish club on deadline day following Lucas Perez's return to Deportivo La Coruna on loan.
Benzema could miss up to 6 weeks
Karim Benzema could reportedly miss up to 6 weeks after Real Madrid confirmed the striker suffered a hamstring injury against Levante.
Benzema was substituted in the 24th minute of Madrid's 1-1 draw on Saturday, after overstretching in an attempt to control a pass.
Zinedine Zidane's much-changed side laboured to their second home draw of the season, as Lucas Vazquez cancelled out Ivi's surprise opener, with Marcelo dismissed late on to compound Madrid's frustration.
Reports in Spain have suggested Benzema could miss over a month and, while that has yet to be confirmed, he is almost certain to miss Madrid's Champions League opener against APOEL on Wednesday.

Isco signs new Real Madrid contract
Real Madrid have announced that Isco has signed a new 5-year contract, keeping him at the Santiago Bernabeu until June 2022.
The 25-year-old is set to earn €6 million per season and has a staggering €700 million release clause, according to reports in Spain.
A number of teams, including FC Barcelona and Bayern Munchen, were linked with a move for the Spain international as he entered the final year of his deal.
However, an impressive run of form in the first-team towards the end of 2016-2017 saw the playmaker cement his place in the plans of coach Zinedine Zidane and earn a renewal.
Isco has been an ever present in Madrid's team this season, playing in all 3 La Liga games and their 3-0 win over APOEL in the Champions League on Wednesday.
He has also been in fine form for Spain, scoring 3 goals in recent wins over Italy and Liechtenstein.
Carrico renews until 2020
FC Sevilla defender Daniel Carrico has signed a 2-year contract extension, tying him to the club until the end of June 2020.
The centre-back initially joined the club on a season-long loan from Championship side Reading in July 2013, before signing on a permanent basis the following year.
A Portugal international, Carrico was a vital member of Sevilla's squad for all 3 of their Europa League triumphs in 2014, 2015 and 2016, playing in each Final.
The 29-year-old was more of a peripheral figure last season under coach Jorge Sampaoli, making just 6 La Liga appearances due to numerous injury problems.
But with those issues seemingly a thing of the past, new coach Eduardo Berizzo has tied his vice-captain down for another 2 years.

Kroos adds to Madrid's growing list of absentees
Toni Kroos has added to Real Madrid's growing list of absentees for this weekend's La Liga clash at Real Sociedad.
The Germany midfielder is absent for the tricky trip to Anoeta having not trained with the team ahead of the encounter after picking up a knock.
Head coach Zinedine Zidane, who also stated that centre-back Jesus Vallejo is unavailable, has seen his squad beset by injuries and suspensions.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo are banned for the fixture, while Karim Benzema (hamstring) and Mateo Kovacic (adductor tear) are injured.

Carvajal signs Madrid extension
Real Madrid have announced full-back Dani Carvajal is the latest player to sign a new deal with the La Liga champions.
The contract will see the right-back remain at the Santiago Bernabeu until the end of the 2021-2022 season.
A product of the club's academy, Carvajal re-joined Madrid for a reported €6,5 million at the beginning of the 2013-2014 campaign after impressing in a lone season at Bayer Leverkusen.
The 25-year-old has been a regular presence under Zinedine Zidane and has gone on to win 13 caps for Spain since debuting in 2014.
Carvajal follows fellow full-back Marcelo and star midfielder Isco in inking a new deal with Los Blancos.

Benzema seals Madrid stay until 2021
Karim Benzema has agreed a 4-year contract extension at Real Madrid that will keep him with the Spanish and European champions until 2021.
The 29-year-old striker is suffering with a hamstring injury and is not included in Madrid's squad to face Real Betis on Wednesday.
He will sign his new deal in a ceremony at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday.
Benzema joins team-mates Isco, Marcelo and Dani Carvajal in sealing fresh terms with Madrid over recent weeks, while head coach Zinedine Zidane told reporters on Tuesday that his own renewal was "already done".
After joining from Olympique Lyon in 2009, Benzema has scored 182 goals across 371 appearances for Madrid but has not featured for France since being implicated in a blackmail scandal involving international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena in November 2015.
In July, the highest appeals court in France annulled the validity of the investigation into Benzema's alleged involvement in the case.
