The 2025/2026 LaLiga season promises to be one of the most competitive in recent years, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid at the forefront of the title race. Bookmakers have already published their initial odds, highlighting a clear gap between the favorites and the outsiders. Below, we analyze the incoming and outgoing transfers, as well as the most interesting bets for this season. Who will lift the trophy on May 24?

The 2025/2026 LaLiga season promises to be particularly exciting, with antepost odds representing a key indicator of market expectations for the teams in contention for the title. These are dynamic values, influenced by numerous factors, particularly transfer activity during the summer window. With bet365’s betting market closing at 7pm on August 15, all eyes are on the three big clubs: Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid. Their respective odds on bet365, Sisal, and GoldBet confirm them as the main favorites, well ahead of the rest of the pack. A detailed analysis of incoming and outgoing transfers will be crucial to understanding who really has what it takes to win the title.

Real Madrid returns to dominate with new faces

Real Madrid, listed at 1.80 on bet365, 1.90 on Sisal, and 1.85 on GoldBet, starts as the favorite for the 2025/2026 season, determined to regain the title after Barcelona’s triumph last season. This position has been strengthened by a targeted transfer campaign, based on young players who are already ready to make a difference. Trent Alexander-Arnold (26 years old, €75 million) arrives to strengthen the right wing, bringing quality in crossing and solidity in defense. The back line has been further strengthened with the additions of Dean Huijsen (20, $60 million) and Álvaro Carreras (22, $35 million), with a view to structural renewal. All this under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, the new coach tasked with bringing the club back to the top.

Real Madrid to win – odds of 1.80 at bet365, 1.90 at Sisal, 1.85 at GoldBet.

Barcelona: Flick chasing second consecutive title

Barcelona, priced at 2.10 on bet365, 2.00 on Sisal, and 1.90 on GoldBet, looks like Real Madrid’s main rival. Among the new faces in the team is Joan Garcia (24, €25 million), signed from Espanyol as a strategic investment between the posts. In attack, the arrival on loan of Marcus Rashford (27) from Manchester United adds speed and attacking threat without immediately weighing on the budget.

On the transfer front, the club has focused on targeted deals to generate cash and reduce the wage bill. The sales of Pau Víctor (€12 million to Braga), Álex Valle (€6 million to Como), and Pablo Torre (€5 million to Mallorca) are examples of monetizing young talent or surplus players. The return of Clément Lenglet from his loan spell at Atlético Madrid, along with the temporary departures of Ander Astralaga and Ansu Fati, is part of a broader technical and economic restructuring aimed at finding the right balance between competitiveness and sustainability.

Barcelona to win – odds 2.10 on bet365, 2.00 on Sisal, 1.90 on GoldBet

Atletico Madrid: revolution underway and hungry for trophies

Listed at 9.00 on bet365, 9.00 on Sisal, and 12.00 on GoldBet, Atletico Madrid starts as an outsider for the 2025/2026 season, but the summer transfer market suggests a real revolution is underway. The club has invested heavily in all areas, focusing on young but already established players such as Álex Baena (23, €42 million), Dávid Hancko (27, €26 million), Johnny Cardoso (23, €24 million), and Thiago Almada (24, €21 million). These are joined by big names already in the squad such as Robin Le Normand, Conor Gallagher, Julián Álvarez, and Alexander Sørloth, for a mix that promises greater depth and attacking power. Among the main departures are Arthur Vermeeren (€20 million to RB Leipzig), Rodrigo Riquelme and Angel Correa (both sold for €8 million), as well as veterans Reinildo Mandava, Axel Witsel and Cesar Azpilicueta, who leave salary and technical space for renewal. Atletico thus presents itself with a deeply renewed and ambitious squad, although the real challenge will be to effectively integrate so many new additions in a short space of time.

Conclusions and prospects for the championship

Overall, the race for the 2025/2026 LaLiga title promises to be a fascinating clash between different approaches. Real Madrid, determined to return to the throne after Barcelona’s success last season, will try to consolidate its role as favorite under the guidance of Xabi Alonso.

Barcelona, with Flick on the bench and looking for its second consecutive title, faces this new challenge with an eye on the accounts and a strategy of targeted acquisitions and prudent resource management.

Atlético Madrid, on the other hand, is the most unpredictable variable: the profound restructuring of the squad could bring it significantly closer to the top, or mark the beginning of a new cycle that is yet to be built.
