HUGE PRICE TAG
Portuguese teenager Joao Felix will be the player to watch at the Wanda Metropolitano after a 126-million-euro move from Benfica, although the forward's impressive early performances indicate he will not be intimidated by his huge price tag. Valencia finished fourth last season but will face a stern battle for the final Champions League spot with Sevilla, with new coach Julen Lopetegui determined to rebuild his reputation after being sacked by the Spain team and Real Madrid last year. Sevilla are the biggest spenders outside the top three, shelling out some 150 million euros on 13 new arrivals, although they have bid farewell to crucial players in Wissam Ben Yedder and Pablo Sarabia. Real Mallorca make a long-awaited return to the top flight after a six-year absence and are joined by Osasuna and Granada, who were both relegated from La Liga two years ago. It is also set to be an intriguing season off the pitch due to the ongoing feud between La Liga's organizing body and the national football federation (RFEF), who have been in legal battles over when games should be scheduled. There is also expected to be renewed tensions between the two organizations when the RFEF reveals plans to hold a revamped Spanish Super Cup outside of Spain in January, proposals La Liga have said they will vehemently oppose.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
