With the club season now over, the spotlight in Spanish football is split today between the highest demands of preparation for the 2026 World Cup and the first strategic moves of a summer transfer market that promises to be frantic.

The country’s main sports newspapers lead with comments from the key figures of 'La Roja' and the big names set to shake up the boardrooms.

MARCA

The Madrid-based newspaper goes with a message of unity and ambition ahead of the summer’s major international event, combining boardroom developments with the national team’s big challenge.

With a group photo of Grimaldo, Oyarzabal, Eric García, Pubill and Rodri, the main front-page headline is "We know we can do it". The squad accepts the pressure of fighting for the crown.

AS

The Prisa newspaper uses its lower section and side strips for the key stories in the football market. The paper reveals that French centre-back Ibrahima Konaté has the backing of the Real Madrid board and is one of the options recommended by Kylian Mbappé to strengthen Madrid’s defence.

It also highlights the "uncertainty" around 'La Roja', as well as Sergio Ramos' response regarding the sale of Sevilla.

Mundo Deportivo

The Grupo Godó newspaper focuses on personal profiles around the Barça camp and Hansi Flick’s plans. The paper dedicates its central image to analysing the personality of FC Barcelona’s new star, Gordon.

It also highlights Flick’s plan for Bernardo Silva. The newspaper says the German coach has given the green light to the arrival of the Portuguese midfielder, provided there are departures from the squad first in order to meet Financial Fair Play rules.

SPORT

The Catalan newspaper goes all in on the international angle and on the exclusive comments of national team coach Luis de la Fuente.

With a large image of the coach, the main headline is "Lamine is obsessed with the World Cup". De la Fuente highlights the hunger of the young Barça attacker ahead of the global tournament and analyses the squad options before the friendly against Iraq.

Superdeporte

The Valencia-based newspaper focuses on the harsh financial reality and squad planning at Mestalla after the end of the season. The spotlight is entirely on striker Hugo Duro.

Although the player wants to stay and keep his leading role at Valencia after posting another double-digit goal season, the club needs to raise funds. The board is considering his sale if an offer of more than €10 million arrives from abroad.
