A record for Manchester City, a jackpot for Aston Villa, the Liga less expensive than the pro League: the record of the winter transfer window in figures


Batshuayi, Vertessen, Sishuba, Caufriez, Matazo, Van Der Heyden, Delcroix, Dams or Arslanagic: here is the Recap of the Belgian transfer window strangely in the Premier League, two young Belgians in Ligue 1 and a prestigious arrival in Milan: Relive The last hours of the transfer window

10. The Como team, where the Belgian Ignace Van der Brempt evolves, is the one that recruited the most players (10) during this winter transfer window in the main European championships. With in particular the goalkeeper Jean Butez (Antwerp) or the old Rouche Mergim Vojvoda (Torino). Poorly classified in Serie A (15th), the promoted trained by Cesc Fabregas clearly displays his ambitions. Conversely, Côme is also – with Genoa, Fiorentina and Sampdoria – the club which has separated from the greatest number of players (12). All left on loan.

110. In terms of transfers on the other hand, it was Aston Villa and FC Porto who did the best deals with 110 million euros in revenue … thanking Saudi Arabia. The Villans take advantage of the sale of Jhon Duran in Al-Nassr (77 million euros), the most expensive transfer of this transfer window in front of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City (75 million) and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia at PSG (70 million ). And the Portuguese have negotiated the sale of Galeno in Al-Ahli (50 million) in addition to the last minute transfer of Nicolas Gonzalez to Manchester City (60 million).

218. Unsurprisingly, Manchester City wins the palm of the most winter expenditure club. In the hard time, the quadruples champions of England decided to spend almost without counting for both trying to create a new dynamic but also prepare the future. For his latest transfer window (he left the club at the end of the season), the sports director Txiki Begiristain thus dropped around 218 million euros for three young defenders Abdukodir Khusanov (€ 40 million, Lens), Vitor Reis (€ 37 million , Palmeiras) and Juma Bah (€ 6 million, Real Valladolid but loaned to Lens); An attacker already confirmed with Omar Marmoush (€ 75 million, Frankfurt); And a new midfielder signed this Monday with Nicolas Gonzalez (€ 60 million, FC Porto). Apart from Chelsea who had also made follies in January 2023 to afford eight players at 330 million euros, no club had released so much money in winter in the history of football.

475. Given the expenses of its reigning champion, the Premier League again leaves the transfer window with the amount of the highest cumulative transfers in Europe: 475 million euros invested (and this, while Liverpool and Arsenal did not spent one euro). It is more than double in Serie A (229 million) which works enormously with loans, and Ligue 1 (201 million). The Bundesliga (169 million) arrives behind, while La Liga (26 million) comes out of a historically calm winter. With the month of January 2021 (during the COVID crisis), this is the lowest total since 2014 (21 million). For 2025, La Liga arrives behind the Pro League. The 32 million released by Belgian clubs are almost a record: only winter 2017 (38 million) was more spending.
