Huijsen has quickly established himself as a key element in the Madrid defense under the direction of Xabi Alonso. His ability to organize the game from the back and maintain defensive solidity has been highlighted since his early games. At just 20 years old, there is already talk of him as a possible defensive leader for more than a decade at the club. He arrived young and relatively cheap compared to the impact he is having, which reinforces the idea that he is a strategic investment. Madrid has made a perfect choice with Huijsen because he combines present and future, and has the potential to become one of the most dominant center-backs in LaLiga and Europe.

Joan García
7.870.000€-490.000€    2

Since his first match in the preseason tour, he has shown confidence with his feet and good ball control from the back. Coach Flick entrusted him with the number "1" jersey, although he specified it as provisional. Remember that he was the goalkeeper with the most saves of the entire season, with 146 interventions and an effectiveness rate of 73.7%. His performance against Rayo solidified his position as the starting goalkeeper. His composure and ability to respond in key moments stood out, despite Hansi Flick's tactical system seeming to demand an extra effort due to the team's defensive weaknesses. The signing of Joan García by FC Barcelona has been a very positive decision so far. He brings a presence under the goal, security from the first game, and long-term growth potential. If he maintains this level, he has all the prospects to become one of the club and LaLiga's reference goalkeepers.

Hancko has shown a solid defensive presence, excelling in clearances and recoveries. His ability to adapt to different positions in defense has been valuable for the team. However, in the match against Deportivo Alavés, his relocation as a left-back did not have the expected impact, affecting his performance in that match. The center-back has expressed pride in his adaptation to the club and emphasized the importance of continuing to work hard to improve the team's effectiveness. Despite the initial challenges, his positive attitude and commitment to the team have been remarkable. He has proven to be a valuable addition to Atlético de Madrid, providing defensive solidity, versatility, and leadership. His offensive contribution and positive attitude bode well for a promising future in the club.

In his first start against Atlético de Madrid, Mir scored a goal with one of his two shots, allowing Elche to secure a valuable draw. This result keeps the team undefeated after two LaLiga matchdays, something they hadn't achieved in 49 years. Against Levante, he scored a fantastic goal early in the second half, solidifying his growing reputation. His performance helped the team achieve their first win of the season. Rafa Mir has shown outstanding performance in his early games with Elche. His ability to score goals and his presence in the opponent's area have been crucial for the team. If he maintains this level of performance, he could become a key player in Elche's fight for survival in LaLiga.

Postscript: We could also include Álvaro Rodríguez, who has shown an interesting start this season and deserves monitoring along with other standout signings.

He has had a promising start in his time at Villarreal CF during the 2025/26 season. The Uruguayan defender has been a starter in the team's first three official matches, demonstrating his versatility by performing both as a center-back and right-back. His performance has been solid, with standout displays that bolster the Submarino Amarillo's defense. Santiago Mouriño has proven to be a valuable addition to Villarreal CF. His ability to adapt to different positions in defense and his strength in aerial plays and clearances have been crucial for the team. Additionally, his involvement in ball distribution and willingness to join the attack on occasions have added an extra dimension to his game. His performances in the early matches suggest that he is a successful signing who can contribute significantly to the club's goals in LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League. Mouriño has displayed qualities that position him as a key piece in Villarreal's defense, and his adaptation to the team has been quick and effective. If he maintains this level of performance, he could establish himself as an undisputed starter in the near future.
