Deadline day in LaLiga: David, Ceballos and Cajuste headline moves

Transfer deadline day delivered a frenetic final rush across LaLiga, with clubs moving late to complete their squads. According to Sport, Málaga CF were among those who wrapped up business in the closing hours, while other sides turned the spotlight with higher-profile deals.

Málaga seal their late moves

Málaga confirmed Jens Cajuste as a loan from Napoli, with an €8 million purchase option. Earlier in the day, the club had already announced Juan Berrocal to strengthen central defense. With both arrivals, the Blanquiazul side closed the market after waiting until the last matchday to finalise its squad as it pushes for a return to LaLiga’s top level, per Sport.

Atlético and Betis steal focus

Among the big names of the closing window, Atlético Madrid moved for Jonathan David to reinforce their attack, with the Canadian becoming one of the headline operations of the deadline, as Sport reports. Meanwhile, Dani Ceballos returned to Real Betis after ending his spell at Real Madrid, coming back to the club where he was formed and where he had previously played.

More deals that reshaped the day

Deportivo La Coruña also had a key role in the last hours, landing Marc Casadó from Barcelona and bringing in José María Giménez from Atlético Madrid. Sport also notes that those additions followed the club’s summer moves for Adama Traoré and Aubameyang.

Elsewhere, Sport highlights the Sevilla loan of Youssouf Fofana from AC Milan, and the temporary switch of Harvey Elliott from Liverpool to Valencia. The day closed with further business too: Pablo García joined Racing Santander for €5 million (for 50% of the player), and Emil Audero went to Rayo Vallecano on loan.
