It threatens to be the most dramatic summer of football transfers in history. Already Real Madrid has dropped over €300 million on new signings. Atletico Madrid—who announced the sale of Lucas Hernandez to Bayern Munich in March for a reported fee of €80 million—has to rebuild half its team, and Barcelona are being linked with a sensational return to La Liga for the wayward genius Neymar Jr.
Some of La Liga's rising stars are in the shop window. Atletico Madrid's 22-year-old defensive midfield lynchpin Rodri has declared he wants to leave the club, per ESPN FC's Eduardo Fernandez-Abascal.
