The market opens: what does each First team want to sign?

The pandemic has disrupted the economy of all sectors. The transfers of footballers were a snowball that grew more and more uncontrolled and the coronavirus precipitated its rupture. In January 2020, the last without COVID, the League spent € 159,130,000. That figure already represented an increase of € 43,680,000 compared to the previous season. In this way, the League showed a significant increase that began in 2018 and stopped last January, when only € 35,750,000 was spent.

Now, Spain, like so many other countries, hopes to recover or, at least, get as close as possible to the money movement of the pre-pandemic years. In fact, before the deadline to officially register players, the League has already widely exceeded those 35 million euros. Only Ferran Torres has already cost almost double what the twenty teams spent together in the entire transfer market.

An economic expectation to which They will help the extra European income for Villarreal (champion of the Europa League) but which will be hurt by the complicated accounts of clubs as large as Barcelona or Valencia. The former has lost € 284,775,000 in salary limit compared to last season. The second finished last in this classification, lowering his limit by € 72,404,000. But nevertheless, These limits respond to those established by LaLiga in the summer and some teams have exceeded them.

Undoubtedly, the great objective for the League is to regain the appeal of being a powerful league, a characteristic that has lost steam after the departure of names such as Cristiano, Messi and Sergio Ramos in recent years. In this market, the big teams want to get players who replace the aforementioned legends. Barcelona already have Ferran and Madrid’s great obsession this month is to close the signing of Mbappé, although this would arrive in summer. On the other hand, teams outside the top-3 are also made up of well-known players in Europe. Real Sociedad has just signed Rafinha and Sevilla is convinced that they can get the loan of Martial.

In Europe teams are also working to improve their squads. One of the focuses of interest is in Newcastle and its new billionaire owner. Right now the club is in decline and with very bad feelings. PSG could use a midfielder, but at zero cost, and has for sale players like Draxler or Icardi. Juventus must react if they want to qualify for the Champions League. In terms of proper names, Adeyemi has been one of the revelations in Europe and Salzburg could make a historic sale.

This is what each team is looking for:

Real Madrid: only departures can be expected

The great focus of attention with the arrival of the January market at Real Madrid is to close the signing of Mbappé for free for next summer. Another issue is the exits that there may be. The club would welcome any offer for Isco or Mariano.

Rayo Vallecano: the focus on the exit operation

Destiny is sought for Qasmi and Sergio Moreno. Some other players who are not having minutes are not ruled out, such as Arboleda or Andrés. As for arrivals, the axis of the rear and the attack could be reinforced. The latter subject to possible marches.

Atlético de Madrid: Cholo asks the Kings for an Azpilicueta

Atlético can be strengthened in defense and a player who fulfilled as a center-back and on any side would be ideal. A player with the profile of Azpilicueta, although the Navarrese seems to have it done with Barcelona for next summer. They are also attentive to the possible exits of Héctor Herrera or Trippier.
