La Liga club-by-club transfer latest: July 9

Sports Mole takes a look at the recent transfer rumours from Spain's top flight.

The World Cup might currently be stealing the limelight, but that has not stopped all 20 La Liga clubs attempting to improve their squads for the coming season.

Here, Sports Mole has rounded up all the latest rumours and done deals from Spain's top flight.

Almeria

Almeria have already lost Aleix Vidal to Sevilla this summer, with the 24-year-old moving to the Estadio Ramon.

As part of the deal, Almeria managed to sign goalkeeper Julian Cuesta on a three-year contract. Meanwhile, 21-year-old midfielder Ivan Sanchez has joined from Atletico Madrid's reserve side.

Ximo Navarro and Tomer Hemed have also both joined from Mallorca.

The latest player to arrive at the club is Thailand international Teersail Dangda, who has joined from Muangthong United.

Athletic Bilbao

Bilbao have lost Ander Herrera to Manchester United this summer, with the Spaniard signing a long-term deal with the Premier League outfit.

However, fellow Spanish talent Iker Muniain has signed a new long-term deal until 2017.

French centre-back Aymeric Laporte is widely regarded as one of the best young defenders in European football and has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona, but the player's release clause has recently been increased to £34m.

Enric Saborit and Xabi Etxeita, meanwhile, have both reportedly been made available for transfer this summer, with Elche linked with the pair.

Atletico Madrid

Earlier today, Bayern Munich confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Atletico for the transfer of Croatian forward Mario Manduzkic, who will complete a move to the Vicente Calderon once personal terms have been agreed.

Atletico are also reportedly interested in signing Torino winger Alessio Cerci this summer.

Diego Costa has already moved on to Chelsea this summer and could soon be joined by left-back Filipe Luis, although it is understood that the two clubs are still some way apart in terms of price.

Miranda, however, is expected to remain with the La Liga champions despite strong interest from Manchester United and Barcelona. As it stands, the Brazilian's buy-out clause is around £24m.

French midfielder Joshua Guilavogui has also been linked with a move to Marseille, while Cristian Rodriguez has admitted that he expects to leave the club this summer.

Skipper Gabi, meanwhile, has signed a new long-term deal with the club.

Despite the imminent signing of Mandzukic, at least one more new striker is expected to arrive, with Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Manchester City's Alvaro Negredo both linked with the Vicente Calderon.

It is understood that Negredo is prepared to take a pay cut in order to secure a move, but a loan move for Lukaku is also reportedly high on the agenda.

It has also been reported that Atletico are desperate to sign Benfica goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

Barcelona

Barcelona's move for Liverpool forward Luis Suarez continues to gather pace, but despite reports of an already-agreed price, it is understood that the two clubs are still some way apart.

Bids of £63m and £70m have both been mooted, but as of yet, there is no deal between the two.

Xavi's future also remains uncertain, but Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has claimed that the veteran could yet remain at the Camp Nou.

Alexis Sanchez, meanwhile, is seemingly close to joining Arsenal after turning down interest from Liverpool. The Chilean's agent is believed to have held talks with the Gunners this week.

Barcelona have also reportedly joined the race for Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels.

Valencia have told Barcelona that there is no movement on the price of Jeremy Mathieu, whose release clause stands in the region of £17m. Fiorentina's Juan Cuadrado, however, is believed to be keen on a move to the Camp Nou this summer.

Third-choice goalkeeper Joel Matip, meanwhile, has signed a new long-term contract.

In terms of outgoings, 18-year-old Adama Traore is reportedly the subject of interest from a number of La Liga and Premier League clubs, but Pedro now seems certain to stay at the Camp Nou.

Deportivo La Coruna

On Tuesday, the club's board took the surprising decision to sack head coach Fernando Vasquez, despite the Spaniard leading Deportivo back into La Liga.

In terms of incomings, PAOK winger Lucas Perez has also been linked with the club, as has Barcelona winger Isaac Cuenca, with some reports claiming that a deal has already been agreed with the Spaniard.

Deportivo are also believed to be in the market for Wolfsburg's Ibrahim Sissoko, but wage demands have stopped Jose Carlos joining on a free transfer.

Eibar

Eibar have recently completed their first signing of the summer, with midfielder Javi Lara joining from Ponferradina.

Club captain Txema Anibarro has signed a new deal, but Raul Navas is expected to move on to Real Sociedad, with Pablo Hervias possibly moving in the opposite direction.

Eibar have also been strongly linked with Athletic Bilbao pair Saborit and Etxeita, while former Real Betis defender Javi Chica is also believed to be a target.

Elche

Talk of a permanent move for Sevilla's Manu del Moral, who spent last season on loan with Elche, has gathered pace, with the striker admitting that he does not expect to represent his parent club next season.

Carlos Sanchez's performances in Colombia's World Cup campaign, meanwhile, have reportedly attracted a host of interest, with the midfielder available for as little as £4m.

Pedro Mosquera has also arrived on a free transfer from Getafe and he has been joined by Polish goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton, who has moved on loan from PSV Eindhoven.

Levante

New boss Jose Luis Mendilibar's toughest task this summer will be to fight off interest in Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who is now regarded as one of the best stoppers in European football.

Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, however, has officially departed the club for Barcelona, with Sociedad reportedly interested in signing Valencia's Vicente Guaita as the Chilean's replacement.

However, it has also been claimed that Ander Bardaji will be given the chance to step into the Sociedad first team next season.

Sevilla

It is understood that Sevilla have entered the race for Marseille midfielder Mathieu Valbuena, who starred at the World Cup for France this summer.

Spanish international Alberto Moreno, who is a target for Liverpool, now looks likely to remain at the Estadio Ramon, however, with talks reportedly breaking down.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered the race for Moreno, but Sevilla president Jose Castro has insisted that the left-back will not leave unless his full release clause is met.

Alberto Botia, meanwhile, who spent last season on loan at Elche, has vowed to fight for his spot in the XI this season.

Valencia

Valencia recently took the surprising decision to sack head coach Juan Antonio Pizzi after just half a season at the helm.

Following Peter Lim's successful takeover of the club, Valencia have transfer funds to spend this summer and it is understood that the powers-that-be were not convinced by Pizzi's list of targets.

A move for Marseille attacker Valbuena has seemingly stalled, while there was also bad news regarding Juan Bernat, with the talented 21-year-old moving on to Bayern Munich on a long-term deal.

Villarreal

On Tuesday, Villarreal officially announced the signing of Antonio Rukavina from Real Valladolid following weeks of speculation.

Giovani dos Santos proved key for Villarreal last season, with his form also aiding talk of a move, but the Mexican, along with the likes of Bruno and Cani, seem unlikely to leave despite interest, with club CEO Fernando Roig Nogueroles recently claiming that the club are confident of keeping their key players this summer.

However, French forward Jeremy Perbet revealed earlier this week that he is leaving the Yellow Submarine this summer.

In terms of incomings, Barcelona midfielder Jonathan dos Santos has been linked with a loan move, as has Atletico Madrid defender Toby Alderweireld, who wants first-team football next season.
