Spain's current financial climate has meant that La Liga clubs of reputable European stature are being forced to sell their star assets for prices they would not ordinarily. While the big two in La Liga remain impervious to Spain's credit crunch, teams like Valencia, Sevilla and Malaga have all struggled financially. Whereas in times gone by, teams in this second bracket would not be forced to sell their best players, nowadays it has become difficult to keep them. While Barcelona and Real Madrid often get a first choice when it comes to players from their domestic league, since Rafa Benitez's days at Liverpool where Alonso and Torres left Spain for Merseyside, Spanish players have began to flock to our shores, excelling in the Premier League. In addition to the aforementioned former Liverpool stars, players like Juan Mata, David Silva and Cesc Fabregas have set the league alight in the past few seasons. It seems as though while Barcelona and Real Madrid players dominate the national side, for those not lucky enough to be in the 22 men that make up their starting line ups, the Premier League has become the favoured destination for those Spanish players looking to enhance their careers and earn a spot in Spain's line-up. This list will examine 10 more Spanish players that are moving, or being strongly linked with a move to the Premier League this summer.
10. Cesc Fabregas
Could Fabregas make a sensational return to the Premier League after failing to nail down a position in his beloved Barcelona's starting line up? Sky Sports Spanish football expert
Guillem Ballague seems to think not, contrary to media reports. He claims the Barcelona have notified him that they are unwilling to part with the player for the second time in his short career, despite interest from England. However, Ballague does not rule out a move in the future. Therefore it seems likely that Cesc's potential return to the Premier League will depend on his game time in the upcoming season. If he again fails to establish himself as a key player for the Catalan giants, he may be forced to look elsewhere to make a success of his career. If this ends up being the case, or if infact he does leave Spain this summer, it appears he will not be without an array of clubs vying for his signature, with
Manchester United seeming extremely interested at present.
