The 2024 European football winter transfer window has officially closed at 7 am on February 1, unlike many teams in the past, this year's European football transfer window is much calmer, especially the Premier League powerhouses with strong financial resources, this time there is no big transfer action. The most unexpected thing is that the bid king of this winter transfer window turned out to be Roque, who joined Barcelona in advance, and his transfer fee was 40 million euros, equivalent to 3 yuan100 million, compared to Coutinho, who the red and blue team once smashed with more than 100 million euros, is indeed a small drop.
According to the top 10 transfers of the winter window announced by the German transfer, Roque is at the top of the list, the player is only 18 years old, and the transfer was finalized by Barcelona last summer. According to Barcelona's original plan, Roque should have joined this summer, but Lewandowski's form has declined seriously, and there is no other center forward in the team who is responsible for scoring goals, so Barcelona had to complete the transfer ahead of schedule. You know, Barcelona's financial problems are very serious, and paying 40 million euros in advance is actually a big burden for them. Previously, it was reported that because Roque's transfer was advanced, Barcelona only had 2.6 million funds available for reinforcements in the winter window, and naturally no one could afford it.
In second place is 23-year-old right wing-back Boe, a player from Galatasaray who Bayern paid 30 million euros for. Bayern has serious injuries in the team, and there are only one healthy players in the first team during this time, and signing Boe is also a helpless move. In addition, Bayern also signed Tottenham Hotspur central defender Dier on loan, and the Bundesliga hegemon, who used to be always cautious in buying people, has become very active this winter, which shows that the team's personnel shortage has indeed made Tuchel very difficult. Of course, these two transfers only cost a total of 40 million euros, which is nothing for Bayern, which is in good financial condition.
The players in third to fifth place are Dragusin, Elmas and Lodi, who have transfer fees between 23 million and 25 million euros. Dragusin's move to Tottenham Hotspur is a transfer completed by the team to make up for the vacancy of Dier's departure, and North Macedonian midfielder Elmas joined RB Leipzig, and may be able to go to a bigger stage in a few years like Upamecano, Werner and other predecessors. What is more surprising is the Brazilian left wingback Lodi, a player who was the target of many giants a few years ago, but now he has left Saudi Arabia, which is really embarrassing.
In sixth place is Adam Wharton, a 19-year-old who moved from Blackburn Rovers to Crystal Palace for €21.1 million. Grand Paris has signed two Brazilian talents in a row, Berardo and Moscardo, both for a transfer fee of 20 million euros, and the squad has been further strengthened. The talented midfielder Vermelen, known as the "Belgian Kimmich", joined Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee of 18 million euros. Benfica and Napoli, two of the biggest blackclubs in European football, have both signed rising stars, and Marcos Leonardo and Ngonggo have both been charged €18 million. Maybe in a few years, these two players will become Mr. Billions like Enzo and Osimhen.
In general, the transfer targets of the major teams in European football this winter window are generally young players around 20 years old, and there are not many transfers of famous stars, and in the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer cases of spending a lot of money and bidding against each other.
