Transfer deadline: Premier League clubs most active with hours left in Europe's
winter window
By STEVE DOUGLAS
AP Sports Writer
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.
Much focus will be on the big-spending Premier League, where English clubs have
already splashed out an estimated $450 million. Manchester City has had the
biggest outlay so far, with winger Antoine Semenyo and center back Marc Guehi
costing a combined $115 million.
Will Liverpool look to strengthen its injury-hit defense? The English champions
are reportedly interested in signing young center back Jrmy Jacquet from
French club Rennes.
Will Crystal Palace sell France striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, potentially to
Italian giant AC Milan?
Will there be any ins or outs at Chelsea, a club that has been very active in
the transfer market in recent years?
The transfer window shuts in England, France, Germany and Italy at 1900 GMT and
in Spain at 2259 GMT.
Spain Atletico Madrid is close to signing Nigeria forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta and reportedly interested in Mexico midfielder Obed Vargas from the Seattle Sounders. Atletico previously sold midfielder Conor Gallagher to Tottenham and let Giacomo Raspadori go to Atalanta. Also in this window, Barcelona brought back fullback Joao Cancelo on a loan from Al-Hilal, while veteran goalkeeper Marc-Andr Ter Stegen, who had lost his position as a starter to Joan Garca, was sent to fellow Catalan club Girona on loan. Real Madrid stayed quiet, with its only transaction being the loan of young Brazil forward Endrick to Lyon.
Germany 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. ___ AP Sports Writers Ciaran Fahey in Berlin and Tales Azzoni in Madrid contributed to this story. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
