The recent struggles faced after years of success have undoubtedly sparked concern in the eastern part of Manchester. This was made evident by the considerable expenditure of approximately 210 million euros by the “citizens” in January.

The winter transfer window “closed” last night, witnessing the four-time consecutive English champions making a final addition in the “nick of time” with the acquisition of Nico Gonzalez from Porto for 60 million euros.

Prior to this, Pep Guardiola also secured the signings of Omar Marmuš (Eintracht, 75 million), Abdukodira Husanova (Lens, around 40 million), and Viktora Reis (Palmeiras, about 35 million).

This indicates that City has outspent all other Premier League teams combined on mid-season signings, as reported by Reuters.

Due to a string of poor performances this season, the “Citizens” now sit in fifth place in the English Championship table, shedding light on their active participation in the winter transfer market. This is particularly astonishing considering that their last notable January signing before this was Aymeric Laporte in 2018.

Interestingly, the two leading teams, Liverpool and Arsenal, opted not to make any signings.

For those familiar with Liverpool’s transfer approach, this decision comes as no surprise, especially considering their current form suggests they don’t require any reinforcements. Conversely, Arsenal is evidently in need of an attacking boost following injuries to Bukaja Sake and Gabriel Jesus, yet Mikel Arteta has decided to pursue the title with his current squad.

Aston Villa enjoyed a dynamic transfer window, selling John Duran to Al-Nasr for around 77 million euros, while bolstering their attack with Marcus Rashford from Manchester United and Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain. They also welcomed Doniel Mullen and Acceleration Dization to Birmingham.

Tottenham fans have reason to be thrilled as their team has strengthened by acquiring the talented young striker Matisa Tela from Bayern, along with Kevin Dance, a stopper for the Austrian national team.

Meanwhile, Manchester United parted ways with Rashford and Antonia (who moved to Betis) but made an intriguing acquisition in Patrick Dorgua from Lecce.

Transfer window revelations, Spaniards remain unperturbed

The standout star of this transfer window did not land in the Premier League but rather in the City of Light. Recognized as one of today’s exceptional talents, Kvarachelia has made his move to Paris Saint-Germain from Napoli for 70 million euros.

In Italy, AC Milan was the most proactive, signing Santiago Jimenez from Feyenoord for 32 million euros, while Kyle Walker and Joao Felix came in on loan.

Juventus added strength with Muani’s car from PSG, and champions Inter welcomed Nikola Zalevski.

Surprisingly, the Spaniards, particularly Real and Barcelona, maintained a calm approach, with the most significant transfer in the Pyrenees being the arrival of Akora Adams from Montpellier to Seville for 5.5 million euros.

The German transfer market was highlighted by the exits of Marmuš and Xavi Simmons, who officially transitioned from a loan deal to becoming a permanent RB Leipzig player for 50 million euros.
