MADRID, July 5 (Xinhua) -- With Athletic Club Bilbao already back in pre-season training ahead of their Europa League qualifying ties, other sides in Spain's Liga Santander are working to complete their first team squads.

Real Madrid have confirmed they will officially present central defender Jesus Vallejo on Friday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, while Theo Hernandez's presentation will be on Monday July 10th. Meanwhile both Madrid and Barcelona are competing to sign Betis midfielder Dani Ceballos, who was voted the MVP in the recent European Under-21 Championship.

Valencia have reached an agreement to loan central defender Aderlan Santos to Brazilian side, Santos, others are adding players for the new season.

Newly promoted Getafe are reported to be close to confirming a deal to bring former Zaragoza striker, Angel to the club to boost their attack. Angel arrives on a free transfer after ending his contract with his former club.

Leganes have taken Real Sociedad right back Joseba Zaldua on loan for the 2017-18 campaign. Zaldua is a highly rated defender, but the arrival of Odriozola in the Real Sociedad first team in the second half of last season has limited his first team opportunities.

Eibar have signed well-travelled Brazilian striker Charles on a two-season deal. The former Malaga, Celta Vigo and Almeria forward should add experience and goals to the Basque side.

Former Eibar left back, Antonio Luna has been presented by Levante, who also return to the Liga Santander this season.

Finally Celta Vigo have made permanent the signing of former Rayo Vallecano midfielder, Jozabed. Jozabed spent the second half of last season on loan from Fulham and has made the move permanent at a price of around 5 million euros.
