2 skirmishes with managers, 3 Portuguese, 4 on loan, 5 Chelsea debutants. The top 10 winter signings

Cancelo’s departure from Man City was sparked by a conflict with Guardiola, and Trossard’s departure to Arsenal was sparked by De Zerbi.

JOAU CANCELO FROM MAN CITY TO BAVARIA

Citizenship: Portugal

Years: 28 years

Position: cornerback

Estimated cost: €70 million

Transition conditions: lease with option to buy for 70 million

The two-time English champion with Manchester City (he has been playing for the Citizens since 2019) unexpectedly moved to Munich, but the reason is on the surface: after the World Cup, he began to play very little. For example, in the Premier League since December, he entered the field in three out of six rounds, and only once played more than half.

The defender’s irritation led to a skirmish with Josep Guardiola during the pre-game session against Arsenal. In the eyes of another coach like Yuri Semin, he would have grown, but with Pep his fate was sealed.

However, Cancelu himself was willing to leave the team. Contenders included Bayern and Barcelona, ​​but Bayern Munich in the person of Julian Nagelsmann and the club bosses were more convincing. Still, they have the Champions League and a guaranteed replacement of trophies every year. In addition, the player has already played in Spain (as well as Italy and England), but has not yet been to Germany.

Upon learning of this transition, Benjamin Pavard asked for a transfer. At City they are not looking for a replacement for the defender, since Pep trusts the young Rick Lewis.

CODI GAKPO FROM AJAX TO LIVERPOOL

Citizenship: Netherlands

Years: 23 years

Position: stroke

Estimated cost: 60 million

Transition conditions: transfer for 42 million

The Dutchman was very strong in the World Cup, getting among the 50 best players of the year according to The Guardian and finally convincing the Liverpool team of his candidacy. The fact that he became Liverpool’s only newcomer in the winter transfer window speaks to the degree of confidence in the player.

True, he entered the team in a period of crisis, when even Mohamed Salah causes more irritation than enthusiasm. In addition, he came from a different football system and so far he seems very curious in pressure: he loses his opponents, does not guess at all when entering opponents and transferring him to partners. In general, he works out of character.

Michael Owen even had to defend him: “I’m not sure even Lionel Messi would look good in this Liverpool. The team is really struggling.” And it’s hard not to agree with that. However, Gakpo looks like one of the most interesting young players in Europe.

ENZO FERNANDES FROM BENFICA TO CHELSEA

Citizenship: Argentina

Years: 22 years

Position: central midfielder

Estimated cost: 77 million

Transition conditions: transfer for 121 million

An ingenious feint by the management of the Eagles, who sold a footballer for a record 120 million to England, which a year ago was estimated by transfermarkt at 5 million! However, the World Cup, of course, greatly increased the prices of him, and the Portuguese tortured Todd Bowley very competently.

Realizing how high the American’s desire was to get a footballer, they refused to negotiate until the last moment, which forced them to activate the termination option for 120 million that Bowley could not afford, because he did not He would fit into the FFP and on the last day of the transfer window he was already willing to pay all that amount, but in installments.

As for Fernández, he was impressively good as a point guard in Portugal, so if he manages to bring his talents to England, he could become one of Chelsea’s defining players for years to come. The contract is signed until 2031.

JOAO FELIS – FROM ATHLETIC TO CHELSEA

Citizenship: Portugal

Years: 23 years

Position: stroke

Estimated cost: 50 million

Transition conditions: rent for 11 million

Another Chelsea rookie who shone in Portugal. True, not yesterday, but three years ago. But then he declared himself so strong that Atlético decided to pay the crazy 127 million for him. However, Félix has not recovered even a third of that amount since then. It seems that there is playing time, and he cannot be blamed for a lack of diligence, and the result is meager – 34 goals in 131 matches for the “mattress”.

Diego Simeone decided to shake the boy up and give him some fresh impressions. True, the move to London still looks comical: in the first game, the striker received a red card (the first elimination in the Premier League debut game since 2014) and a long suspension, which is why he has not entered the field with the blues ever since.

MYKHAILO MUDRIK FROM SHAKHTAR TO CHELSEA

Citizenship: Ukraine

Years: 22 years

Position: Exterior

Estimated cost: 40 million

Transition conditions: transfer for 70 million + 30 million bonds

And again, from a financial point of view, the transfer of Chelsea is absurd. Mudrik’s debut for a new team against Liverpool showed just how much a quick-footed dribbler can give the Blues. James Milner nearly drowned trying to reach it. However, the winger is definitely not worth 70-100 million. But the Londoners knew how to finish off their neighbors from Arsenal, because they took the footballer right under their noses (the deal was already agreed). It is even strange that after this the relationship of the leaders did not deteriorate and the transition of Jorginho took place.

BENOIT BADIACHIL FROM MONACO TO CHELSEA

Citizenship: France

Years: 21 years

Position: center back

Estimated cost: 40 million

Transition conditions: transfer for 38 million

A rare case when Bowley did not overpay, although this fact is not so much to his credit as to reproach the Monegasques. For the France youth team defender, they could help more.

It was after Badiashile’s transfer that UEFA became concerned about the suggestion of other clubs. The fact is that the defender’s contract was signed until 2030 (for 7.5 years). Thanks to this technique, Bowley bypassed the FFP, according to the rules by which the cost of the transfer is “smeared” for the entire contract period. Now the rule has been adjusted, limiting the maximum repayment period to five years.

JORGINHO FROM CHELSEA TO ARSENAL

Citizenship: Italy

Years: 31 years

Position: central midfielder

Estimated cost: 35 millions

Transition conditions: transfer for 11.3 million

An extremely profitable transition for the Gunners, who got for a penny in the most important stage for them in the last 15 years an experienced and classy footballer who is capable of supporting the impressive run of the team in the first half of the season.

The winner of the Champions League and the Euro Cup needs no introduction. Let’s just say that a deep playmaker with a great sense of rhythm could be an important link in Arsenal’s path to the coveted title. His contract is signed until 2024 with an option to renew.

ARNO DANJUMA FROM VILLARREAL TO TOTTENHAM

Citizenship: Netherlands

Years: 26 years

Position: Exterior

Estimated cost: 35 millions

Transition conditions: rent for 3 million

Two years ago, the guy played in the championship and in such a short time he managed to make an impressive breakthrough. He will undoubtedly be remembered by a wide audience for last year’s Champions League, during which he scored six goals in 11 games, including Atalanta (three in two), Juventus and Bayern. The goal against Munich gave the submariners the victory at home and became decisive in this match.

So in the new season, Arno did not slow down, scoring two goals in LaLiga, the Conference League and the Spanish Cup. Yes, this is not so much, but he spent a little over 800 minutes on the field (that is, about 9 full games). This is due to a muscle injury that prevented him from preparing for the season and starting on a par with his teammates.

Tottenham did not repel this, and Spurs took the boy, for now on loan. And in the first game he managed to excel. In the FA Cup match against Preston, Danjuma came on as a 71st-minute substitute and converted a Dejan Kulusevski pass into a goal 16 minutes later. A start?

GONCALO GUEDES FROM WOLVERHAMPTON TO BENFICA

Citizenship: Portugal

Years: 26 years

Position: Exterior

Estimated cost: 32 million

Transition conditions: rent

The only transition in our selection “down”. Gedesh’s career seemed to be stuck at a semi-position. For medium-sized teams like Valencia, he is too good, and for more serious teams (PSG), he clearly lacks skill. So he didn’t stay at Wolves, although he was acquired last summer for a solid 40 million and started many times in the beginning.

Unfortunately, by the winter, the winger had finally lost his place in the team: in the last seven days he only spent more than 17 minutes on the pitch twice, so a loan to his native Benfica seems like a very reasonable decision. . Here the player must find himself again.

LEANDRO TROSSARD FROM BRIGHTON TO ARSENAL

Citizenship: Belgium

Years: 28 years

Position: Exterior

Estimated cost: 30 million

Transition conditions: transfer for 24 million

The Belgian winger has been attracting attention for a couple of years with a very interesting game for Brighton: in the last two and a half seasons, he has consistently scored at least 10 performance points and overall managed to achieve this in 16 games. . So here and now, the winger who has adapted to England may well be much more useful than Mudrik, rather than the one who came to the Emirates. And for much less money.

True, the transition itself turned out to be scandalous, since the player began to sabotage training and miss matches. When his collaboration with Roberto de Zerbi ended, his relationship deteriorated. True, the fault seems not to be the desire to change residence, but the fact that the coach did not put the midfielder in the FA Cup match with Middlesbrough. “When he realized that he wasn’t going to play, he left without telling me anything. I spoke to him and explained that I don’t like this attitude,” de Zerby said. However, even without their leader, Brighton defeated Everton and Liverpool by an aggregate score of 7:1.
