The Kings League’s 2025 Mercato kicked off on January 20 with record-breaking transfers. Windows 1 and 3 saw key moves, including Marc Pelaz’s massive €140M signing and the transfers of Álex Romero and Gerard Vacas.

Let’s take a look at the biggest buyout moves from Windows 1 and 3 on the first day of the 2025 Kings League Mercato.

Top Five Buyouts from Window 1 of the 2025 Mercato

The Mercato 2025 began with an intense first window full of last-minute drama. Rivers had to wait until the final seconds to see if PIO FC’s bid would be approved, after technical issues and human errors caused the submission to be late.

However, all 12 clubs ultimately activated their only available buyout option in this window. Here are the five biggest moves based on transfer fees.

1. Marc Pelaz: 140 M

Porcinos FC made the biggest splash of Window 1, spending 140 M to sign Marc Pelaz, a key player for Jijantes FC. This move showcased Ibai Llanos‘ ambition to build a powerhouse for Split 5.

2. Aitor Vives: 125 M

TheGrefg didn’t hold back, splashing 125 M to bring Aitor Vives from Los Troncos FC to Saiyans FC. The all-around midfielder is expected to add balance and creativity to the team.

3. Gilles Vidal: 107 M

Los Troncos FC made a big-money move by activating Gilles Vidal’s 107 M buyout clause from El Barrio. However, he never played for Perxitaa’s squad, as he was transferred to Porcinos in the second window.

4. Marc Granero: 100 M

Ultimate Móstoles strengthened their squad by acquiring Marc Granero from 1K FC for 100 M. DjMaRiiO’s team made it clear they’re gunning for their first Kings League title.

5. Cristian Ubón: 91 M

El Barrio made their mark in the first buyout window by paying 91 M to secure Cristian Ubón, making him the fifth most expensive signing of the windo.
