Spanish football clubs prepare for La Liga season start

Spanish football clubs are preparing for the upcoming La Liga season with various roster updates and player returns. Real Sociedad captain Mikel Oyarzabal has returned to training following his World Cup victory with Spain, where he scored five goals. He was recently honored in Donostia during the start of the Aste Nagusia festivities alongside Martín Zubimendi.

Real Betis is actively navigating the transfer market, specifically seeking a defensive midfielder to replace Sofyan Amrabat. While the club faces salary cap constraints, manager Manuel Pellegrini remains interested in Amrabat, though a return is not guaranteed. Meanwhile, Deportivo de La Coruña is working to register its squad for their return to the top flight, which requires offloading several players to meet registration limits.

Other club updates include UD Almería beginning training sessions with several players, such as André Horta and Bruno Iribarne, absent. Additionally, Elche prepares for its season opener against Deportivo, noting a long historical trend of failing to win their first match in the Primera División.
