Spanish football is bracing for one of its biggest transfer windfalls in recent years, as Martín Zubimendi of Real Sociedad and Nico Williams of Athletic Club are expected to complete blockbuster moves this summer.
Their imminent departures are poised to set a new benchmark for La Liga’s transfer income records, according to a report from Cronicavasca.
Though not officially confirmed, both players are reportedly finalizing moves that will elevate their respective clubs into the top earners in Spain over the past decade.
These deals are expected to surpass Villarreal CF, which previously led the ranking with a total of €102.38 million in transfer income before selling Alberto Moleiro from UD Las Palmas.
Once sealed, Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao will be among the first three Spanish clubs to surpass the €120 million mark in player sales over the last 10 years, marking a historic moment in Basque football economics.
Zubimendi, a versatile midfielder admired for his vision and composure, has attracted interest from major European clubs due to his performances in La Liga and European competitions.
Meanwhile, Nico Williams—renowned for his explosive pace and attacking flair—is expected to command a high price tag due to his rising international profile.
Analysts view these deals as transformative for the clubs involved, not only from a financial standpoint but also in terms of future squad development. The proceeds are expected to be reinvested into youth academies and strategic signings to maintain competitiveness.
As the summer transfer window heats up, all eyes remain on when these high-profile exits will be confirmed and which clubs will ultimately secure the signatures of Spain’s most promising talents.
