With the approach of Christmas, in addition to the Premier League, the major European leagues have been suspended one after another, but the scandal in the transfer market has begun to occupy an important part of the media, attracting the attention of fans all over the world.
The Premier League, which has the most purchasing power, bears the brunt.
Alpine Manchester City announced early that the team would not introduce reinforcements during the winter break. Alpine also revealed publicly in the team's Christmas dinner that he was very satisfied with the team's existing lineup. Every player has made a contribution to the team. He does not think the team needs reinforcements. At the same time, he encourages all players to continue to work hard in the next six months.
City management are also very supportive of the cold option.
The only potential transfer in the winter market is Wayne Bridge, who West Ham United want to take on loan.
However, after discussing with Gao, bridge decided to stay in the team, because he hopes to win an honor in his career, that is the Champions League.
In an interview with the media, Bridge said he would stay in Manchester, even if it is for the cold to play a replacement.
"He told me that he needs me and I've been trying to adapt to the requirements of the manager. I think we have a good chance of winning the Champions League this season, so I'm willing to stay in the team
Coincidentally, Manchester United will not make a big move in the transfer market.
In addition to a substitute goalkeeper lindegaard, who announced his joining earlier, Ferguson is more likely to find a way for young players, or to rent or transfer. However, Manchester United do not intend to invest in the transfer market, and Ferguson hopes to maintain the stability of the team.
The same view is held by Arsenal. Liverpool's performance this season is not good. The Gunners have great hope of keeping the top four in the league. Obviously, Arsene has no motivation to introduce reinforcements, but the team's attack problem has obviously become Arsene's heart disease.
In the past two years, the Gunners began to actively adapt to the mainstream playing style of European football, from the original 442 to 433, which enabled the number one center van Persie to have a good performance. In last season's five month truce with torn ligament of left ankle, van Persie still conquered all Gunners fans with his excellent performance of scoring nine goals in 16 appearances and seven assists.
But at the beginning of this season, van Persie, who has just participated in the world cup in South Africa, once showed good scoring momentum. He scored two goals in the first three rounds, but soon injured his ankle again and has been absent so far.
Interestingly, not long ago, some media reported that Arsenal suspected that van Persie's frequent injuries were related to his wisdom teeth, so they pulled out his wisdom teeth for the Dutch center. But whether it works depends on van Persie's performance after his comeback in January.
In the absence of van Persie, Chamakh's performance can only be regarded as standard, not satisfactory.
In addition to Arsenal, another Premier League team, Liverpool, is in a more embarrassing situation. Hodgson's team only ranked ninth in the Premier League after 18 rounds of fighting, which makes the Red Army extremely dissatisfied.
It has been reported that Liverpool have begun to look for a new manager, most likely Dalglish.
According to the LFC echo, Dalglish has basically agreed to take charge of the club, but the precondition is that the team must introduce a strong center to make up for the lack of attack.
"Dalglish's favorite center Andy Carroll, who has performed very well in Newcastle this season, is known as the new shearer. He has scored ten goals in the 18th round of the Premier League and is the best local striker in the Premier League this season."
"The new management of Liverpool has basically agreed to Dalglish's request. Now they are starting to raise money and prepare to operate Carroll, but if they want to persuade Newcastle to agree to the transfer, they may have to pay a huge transfer fee."
Compared with several traditional strong teams, the movement of other teams in the Premier League is small. The real influential transfer is that Aston Villa are actively operating Sunderland striker Darren Bent.
Aston Villa has not performed well this season, ranking 12th in the Premier League, while Sunderland has performed extremely well, ranking fifth in the Premier League. Darren Bent has performed well, and the transfer fee is expected to be around 20 million pounds.
This is also in line with the general situation of winter transfer. Only teams with unsatisfactory performance in the first half of the season will be transferred in winter.
It's true in the Premier League, and it's true in La Liga.
After a period of media hype, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simone finally accepted the media interview on Christmas Eve after a regular meeting of the club, saying publicly that the team is really running Chinatown midfield Schneiderlin.
"You know, before I introduce a player, I will pay close attention to his constellation. Schneiderlin is a Sagittarius, representing bravery, decisiveness and independence. He has the courage to go forward despite difficulties, which is very in line with my requirements for players."
For Diego Simone's words, the media generally report in a joking way. No one will believe that he really depends on the constellation to decide whether to introduce Schneiderlin, but it is obvious that he is more concerned about the character of the players.
Under the guidance of Simone, Atletico Madrid is undergoing transformation, from the original cold focus on the pass and control play to the high-intensity and oppressive confrontation play advocated by Simone. Although there are still high requirements for players' foot skills, Simone is more eager to get players like Schneiderlin.
At the same time, German media reported that Carlos cantarello, technical director of Chinatown, appeared in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, which made the news that Chinatown would introduce rajitic spread widely.
Two days later, the first day after Christmas, Chinatown officially announced that the team had finally convinced rajitic to bring in rajitic from Schalke 04 for a transfer fee of 2 million euros.
At the press conference, cantarello said the team firmly believed that lakitic could help Chinatown improve its midfield strength, and admitted that Schneiderlin would move to Atletico Madrid.
On the second day after Chinatown's announcement, Atletico Madrid also officially announced that the team had bought Schneiderlin from Chinatown at a price of 30 million euros. Hill spoke highly of the French midfield's performance in the last two seasons of La Liga and the progress of the players, and firmly believed that he could bring great changes to Atletico Madrid.
Diego Simone also publicly commented that snydering would be a tiger in midfield and would play a huge role.
Marca later revealed that Atletico Madrid's 30 million euro bid for Schneiderlin will be paid in two phases before the summer transfer, while Chinatown's bid for rajitic will be completed in a one-time way.
"According to the information obtained by the reporter, Schalke 04's earliest asking price for lakitic was as high as 7 million euros, but so far, only two teams have made an offer for the Croatian midfield, that is, China city and Sevilla."
"After several rounds of negotiations, the offers of Chinatown and Sevilla are not high, and they have given two different plans."
"Sevilla want to bring in the Croatian midfield for 2.5 million euro, but the fixed transfer fee is 1.5 million, plus a floating price of 1 million, depending on the performance of lakitic in Sevilla."
"Relatively speaking, the transfer scheme of Chinatown is more favorable for Schalke 04. They are willing to buy out rajitic at one time in the form of 2 million euros, which is 500000 more than Sevilla. In addition, rajitic himself is more inclined to Chinatown. Therefore, Schalke 04 decided to sell the player to Chinatown."
Two million euros, which is a huge transfer expense for Chinatown.
As for the signing of rajitic, bochetino, the head coach of China City, publicly affirmed that rajitic can play a key role in the team. Although the transfer market has not officially opened during the winter break, rajitic also said that he will participate in the training and preparation of China City in advance to prepare for the second half of the league.
In the same situation, Schneiderlin also went to Atletico Madrid in advance to participate in training, and the bedspread regiment also bought right back Juan Fran from Osasuna for 4 million euros.
Sevilla immediately shifted its target to bring in Chile International medel from South America at the price of 3 million euro after losing the competition with Chinese city.
Relatively speaking, Barcelona, who is currently ranked first in La Liga, has not made much effort in attracting foreign players, but has only introduced afele from Eindhoven for 3 million euros. This is the decision of the club management, and Guardiola has also agreed to attract foreign players.
However, Atletico Madrid and Chinatown are both ahead of the others. They have succeeded in recruiting players around Christmas, and Real Madrid have to speed up the recruitment efforts. In January, Galaxy warship announced that it will bring in Brazilian back Felipe Melo from Juve at a high price of 30 million euros, which also makes Felipe Melo level with snydering and become a winter transfer model.
"As early as in the early days of Real Madrid, he had always wanted to introduce Felipe Melo, but he failed. Now he has finally achieved what he wanted."
"Although Melo's performance at Juve has been controversial and hailed as the winner of the golden trash award, he is confident that the Brazilian midfield's strength, confrontation and tactical discipline can help Real Madrid
In addition to Felipe Melo, Real Madrid soon announced that the team will pay 30 million euros to bring in midfield player mutino from Porto, Portugal.
This is also a midfield player appointed by Jose, who has both offensive and defensive abilities. He is the humerus General of Portugal national team.
Two big reinforcements joined the team, and Jose also quickly made a clean-up, loaning Muhammad Diarra to Monaco.
It costs 60 million euro to transfer in a winter break, which is only possible for Real Madrid, but the galaxy battleship still seems to be unsatisfied. According to British media reports, Jose also hopes to get Michael Essien, the Chelsea midfield player.
Everyone is surprised by the transfer rumour because Essien is one of the best midfielders at Chelsea this season and it is impossible to get him without paying a huge transfer fee.
Chelsea officials also quickly refuted the rumours that the club would not let any player go in the winter.
According to media reports, after hitting Falcao and Ramirez in succession, Chelsea have broken their muscles and bones. Scolari is not guaranteed. Abramovich will not make a move during the winter break and has temporarily shelved the transfer negotiation with Benfica about centre back David Lewis.
David Luis is the central defender chosen by Scolari, but now the Brazilian coach is in danger.
While Real Madrid waved checks and Chelsea quickly refuted the rumours, the winter break transfer bid finally appeared.
Liverpool have finally announced a bid of 45 million euros to bring in Andy Carroll from Newcastle.
The massive transfer has made Carroll a new standard in the winter transfer market and proved Liverpool's ambition to return to the top four of the league.
Just at the time of the birth of the champion, the much anticipated FIFA annual awards ceremony finally opened in Zurich.
