The winter transfer window will close in Europe’s top leagues on Monday, meaning clubs have just a few more hours to reshape their squads for the final months of the season.<\/p>\n
Much focus will be on the big-spending Premier League, where English clubs have already splashed out an estimated $450 million. Manchester City \u2014 the\u00a0heaviest spender\u00a0in the last winter window \u2014 has had the biggest outlay so far, with winger\u00a0Antoine Semenyo\u00a0and centre back\u00a0Marc Guehi\u00a0costing a combined $115 million.<\/p>\n
Will Liverpool look to strengthen its injury-hit defence? The English champions are reportedly interested in signing young centre back J\u00e9r\u00e9my Jacquet from French club Rennes ahead of him joining in the summer.<\/p>\n
Will Crystal Palace sell France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta? British broadcaster Sky Sports reported a potential transfer to Italian giant AC Milan won’t be happening.<\/p>\n
Will there be any ins or outs at Chelsea, a club that has been very active in the transfer market in recent years? And might Premier League leader Arsenal move late to find a replacement for\u00a0injured midfielder Mikel Merino?<\/p>\n
It was a slow start to deadline day, with few major moves getting sealed, but there’s still time.<\/p>\n
Atletico Madrid was close to signing Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta and reportedly interested in Mexico midfielder Obed Vargas from the Seattle Sounders.<\/p>\n
Atletico previously sold midfielder Conor Gallagher to Tottenham and let Giacomo Raspadori go to Atalanta.<\/p>\n
Also in this window, Barcelona brought back fullback Jo\u00e3o Cancelo on a loan from Al-Hilal, while veteran goalkeeper Marc-Andr\u00e9 Ter Stegen, who had lost his position as a starter to Joan Garc\u00eda, was sent to fellow Catalan club Girona on loan.<\/p>\n
Real Madrid stayed quiet, with its only transaction being the loan of young Brazil forward Endrick to Lyon.<\/p>\n
Leipzig signed two players on Monday: Germany youth international Brajan Gruda on loan from Brighton and 18-year-old winger Ayodele Thomas from PSV Eindhoven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The winter transfer window will close in Europe’s top leagues on Monday, meaning clubs have just a few…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449638,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-449637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
