The deadline for transfer was as busy as for a handful of the most notable teams in Europe, because they have finalized offers for players they hope to improve their fortune for the rest of the season. AC Milan was undoubtedly the most active team in the last hours of the transfer window, granting agreements for five players during the day. Although not all agreements are yet above the line, the list of signatures includes Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord and Joao Felix on loan from Chelsea. Aston Villa was almost also busy as the deadline approached, queuing Marcus Rashford on the eve of the deadline and adding Marco Asensio on Monday. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur obtained a loan agreement for the Mathys request Tel of Bayern Munich.
Several notable offers have not yet been concluded, but should be confirmed within hours of closing the window. This includes the move of Manchester City for Nico Gonzalez from Porto.
With a transfer window now loaded in the rear view mirror, here is an overview of the biggest movements of the best European clubs on the day limit.
Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa
Previous club: Manchester United
Loan costs: None
Notable statistics: 7 goals, 3 assists in 24 games this season
Grade: B
The exile of Manchester United by Marcus Rashford officially ended, and it is difficult not to say that it found a decent landing point with Aston Villa. It looks like the right place to discover what the post-unity future of Rashford looks like since the jury is always on its quality. The villa is not only an ambitious team which is still in the UEFA Champions League and which still hunt a place among the first four in the Premier League, but they need goals after losing Jhon Duran for a big contract in al-Nassr. It is a sink or swim movement for Rashford, but probably one in which he will have the external tools he needs to succeed and end a difficult season on a high note.
Santiago Gimenez, AC Milan
Previous club: Feyenoord
Transfer costs: 31 million dollars plus additional modules
Notable statistics: 16 goals, 3 assists in 19 games this season
Grade: B
A little similar to the move from Rashford to Aston Villa, the transfer of Santiago Gimenez to Feyenoord has a feeling of brand or break. The difference here, however, is that Gimenez traces an ascending trajectory in the hope of translating its impressive form in the Netherlands to one of the best European leagues. He will have the chance to perform by filling a gap left by Alvaro Morata, whose fate in Milan only lasted six months before his departure for Galatasaray. The question is now whether or not whether or not.
Nico Gonzalez, Manchester City
Previous club: Port
Transfer costs: $ 62 million
Notable statistics: 7 goals, 5 assists in 29 games
Grade: A-
Manchester City midfielder was responsible for their problems for a large part of their bad season, even if it is not the only problem, the problem manager, Pep Guardiola has to face. They finally seem to address their problems in the center of the park by signing Nico Gonzalez, who feels like a good fit even if the 23 -year -old has a great task in front of him, the shadow of despair tracking his signature in the middle a Season to forget for the champions in reigning English. Gonzalez will be a welcome member of the group even when the winner of Ballon d’Or Rodri returns, and considering that Guardiola has disgusted the chances of winning the major silverware from this campaign, the midfielder could have a chance to settle in the team at the start of the reconstruction.
Mathys Tel, Tottenham Hotspur
Previous club: Bayern Munich
Loan costs: Unhappy
Notable statistics: 16 goals in 83 games for Bayern Munich
Grade: B
The move of Mathys Tel in Tottenham Hotspur is undoubtedly the most difficult to judge on the day of the deadline. What has become clear in the last month is that the 19 -year -old is one of the most wanted attackers in the game, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United expressing different levels of interest this winter. By this measure alone, the Spurs may have won a very talented player and should be quite excited by that. The inexperience of such, however, means that there is a question mark on the speed with which it can integrate – Spurs could use the objectives, although it is not clear if it will be able to prove itself when the club must decide to take the option of $ 56.9 million to buy.
Joao Felix, AC Milan
Deal still to finalize
Previous club: Chélat
Loan costs: $ 5.69 million
Notable statistics: 7 goals, 2 assists this season
Grade: C
Joao Felix’s stop career now sees him in Milan, where expectations will be on the high -level player again to finally discover a strong series of form. Like his new teammate Santiago Gimenez, AC Milan will count on him for objectives and a loan without an option to purchase that he will have to hit the ground in progress to make a real impression. Until now, this has not been a career in the 25 -year career, so whether or not if it will be a good choice for the team of Sergio Conceicao, remains to be seen.
