Toffees Land Sensational £30m Winger Signing from La Liga Giants
Goodison Park is buzzing once again, as Everton confirm the high-profile signing of Spanish winger Alejandro Rivas from La Liga heavyweights Atlético Madrid in a deal worth a reported £30 million.
The 24-year-old attacking sensation has officially joined the Merseyside club on a five-year contract, becoming Everton’s most expensive signing in recent years and a clear statement of intent from manager Sean Dyche and the club’s board. The move signals a major shift in Everton’s recruitment strategy, as the club looks to inject pace, flair, and attacking dynamism into a side that narrowly avoided relegation last season.
Rivas, who rose through the ranks at Atlético before enjoying a breakout campaign on loan at Real Betis last season, registered 9 goals and 12 assists in La Liga — attracting interest from several Premier League clubs including West Ham and Aston Villa. However, Everton acted swiftly and decisively to secure his signature, reportedly offering an improved wage package and assurances of a central role in Dyche’s revamped attack.
Speaking after his unveiling, Rivas expressed excitement about the move:> “This is a big step in my career. Everton is a club with incredible history and fans, and I’m ready to give everything for the badge. The Premier League is the best in the world, and I can’t wait to show what I can do here.”
Sean Dyche was equally enthusiastic about his new acquisition:
> “Alejandro brings quality, energy, and end-product — everything we’ve been looking to add out wide. He’s young but experienced at a top level, and he has the hunger we want in this squad.”
The move is being widely celebrated by the Everton faithful, with fans taking to social media to hail the signing as a potential turning point. With the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium nearing completion and the club’s finances stabilizing, the arrival of Rivas could mark the beginning of a brighter, more ambitious chapter for the Toffees.
Everton kick off their Premier League campaign in two weeks, and supporters will be eager to see their new star in action — hoping that Rivas can light up Goodison and lead a long-awaited push up the table.
