The winter transfer period has started and although it is often said that the biggest movements do not take place in January, many teams want to move to face the second half of the season. To ensure you don’t miss anything, Footnews provides an update every day on the latest official announcements and rumors.
IN BELGIUM
During the topper, there was a big absentee at Club de Bruges : Andreas Skov Olsen. In recent days, Wolfsburg would have contacted him and he would have refused to play this Sunday evening. However, a transfer seems a long way off since the German offer would only amount to 8 million euros for the moment while the Club would ask for 17 million.
Unlike Skov Olsen, Ferran Jutgla does not seem to be thinking about a transfer. The striker was man of the match at Lotto Park with two goals and said afterwards that he wanted to score many more for the Club. Despite Spain’s alleged interest, he appears keen to stay.
On the arrivals side, the Blauw en Zwart could try to undermine politeness in Antwerp. In recent days the name of the Great Old has been associated with Mauricio Benitezbut the Club would also be interested in the 20-year-old midfielder from Boca Juniors.
Anderlecht is still looking for reinforcements, but it is possible that some players will also leave. Against the Club, Thomas Foket et Yari Verschaeren have been ruled out and they could have less playing time. A departure, at least temporarily, would therefore not be ruled out.
On the arrivals side, Enzo Sternal would be about to leave Marseille for Brussels. The 18-year-old would thus be Anderlecht’s second offensive reinforcement this winter after César Huerta.
ABROAD
Manchester City intends to strengthen in a targeted manner this winter and has already taken action. The Citizens will finalize the arrival ofAbdukodir Khusanov in the coming days. A transfer fee of 40 million euros plus bonuses has been agreed with Lens. The 20-year-old Uzbek will soon pass his medical tests and could then sign a contract until 2029 with an option.
