La Liga 2018-19: 7 clubs that broke their transfer record this summer

Real Madrid v Barcelona - La Liga

#5 Deportivo Alaves (John Guidetti, 4 mil euros)

<p>

John Guidetti is a 26-year-old Swedish striker, who causes menace whenever given the right aerial supply, thanks to the fact he stands at an impressive 6 feet 1 inch. On the international level, he recently represented Sweden in 2018 World Cup in Russia.

He was bought by Manchester City in 2008 but did not play a single game for them. Later on, he was loaned out to five different teams. While on loan, he played for teams like Burnley, Stoke City, and Celtic. After his contract expired with Man City, he was bought by Celta Vigo.

The Swede made his loan switch to Alaves permanent this year after they paid a sum of 4 million euros to Sevilla for his services. He has been given the number 10 jersey by his new club and is expected to become their star player. For a striker, who has hit the net 60 times in his club career, this should not be a big issue.

The previous highest transfer for Deportivo was paid when Daniel Torres was bought for 3.18 million euros from Independiente Medellín.
