Evgeny Music and Vasily Voytyuk sing out the ten main transfers of the third week of January.
10. Sandro, midfielder. From Antalyaspor in Benevento, rent Ex-midfielder Tottenham, the CRC and West Bromwich Sandro, who played 17 matches for the Brazilian national team, went from Turkey to Italy. The mission of the midfielder is extremely clear and incredibly complex: to save Benevento from relegation. After 20 rounds, the "witches" fall behind the saving 17th place by 8 points.
Amato Ciciretti, forward. From Benevento to Parma, rent for 280 thousand euros Amato Ciciretti in the first part of the season was the leader of Benevento. Amato was so strong that Napoli wanted him. It is clear, in this situation, Chichiretti flatly refused to renew from Benevento expiring in the summer contract. "Witches" also decided to at least earn a little on their winger, sending him to rent until the end of the season in Parma. Let's see if he will be able to climb to Serie A for the second time in a row - all the chances for the "Crusaders" are.
Maxim Koval, goalkeeper. From Dynamo to Deportivo, rent Very unexpectedly Dynamo Kiev yesterday announced the transfer of Maxim Koval in the championship of Spain, where he will compete for Deportivo until the end of the season. The club from La Coruna issued a lease with the right of subsequent redemption. Tomorrow the football player of the national team of Ukraine will pass a medical examination.
Note that Koval can become the fifth goalkeeper of Deportivo, who will play for the club this season. The main is the 33-year-old Spaniard Ruben, who played 10 matches in the championship. Also in La Coruna are two well-known goalkeepers - the Catholic Church of Pantilimon (Man City, Sunderland, Watford) and Pzemyslaw Tyton (PSV, Stuttgart, Poland). Two matches defended in the frame of the gate 19-year-old Nigerian Francis Uzoho.
The competition with Maxim will be very serious and interesting to see if the Ukrainian will be able to become the main one in Deportivo.
Ezequiel Barco, midfielder. From Independiente to Atlanta, 12.28 million euros Atlanta last season played for the first time in the MLS, but already managed to become a bright member of the league. So, it was Atlanta who set a new championship record in attendance (70,425 fans), beating almost 21-year achievement Los Angeles Galaxy.
The championship has ended, and to beat records Atlanta does not cease. She paid $ 15 million to Argentine Independiente for 18-year-old Ezequiel Barco and this is the most expensive football player in the history of MLS.
Jose Sosa, midfielder. From Milan to Trabzonspor (redemption of the contract) for 3.4 million euros A long-time acquaintance of Ukrainian fans Jose Sosa was in favor of Trabzonspor from the very beginning of the season. 2 assistants in 10 matches of the Turkish Super League convinced the Turkish club management of the need to redeem the contract of Jose. Now he is a full-fledged Trabzon player.
Jurgen Locadia, forward. From PSV to Brighton, 17 million euros 24-year-old tall (191 cm) striker is a pupil of PSV and spent his entire career in his native club. Now it's time to leave. The Dutch forced Brighton to fork out 17 million euros - with this amount the British have never parted for the sake of a single player.
This season, Locadia scored 9 goals in 15 matches of Eredivizi. In Brighton, he will compete with veteran Glenn Murray, who scored 6 goals in the current Premier League, appearing on the field 22 times.
Arda Turan, midfielder. From Barcelona to Istanbul Bashasehir, rent All this happened. Arda Turan left Barcelona, ??where he was not counted on for a long time (this season he did not play at all). Interest in the midfielder attributed almost all Turkish grandees, but the player still got Istanbul.
Turan moved to Vaakhshehir on loan, which will last until the summer of 2020 - 2.5 years. At the end of the lease, the player will be 33 years old.
By the way, just a few minutes ago Turan already marked the debut goal for the new team.
Robin van Persie, forward. From Fenerbahce to Feyenoord, free agent Another return of the great player for his country to his homeland. Robin van Persie returned to his native Feyenoord. The striker left the club in 2004, and 14 years later he returned. He agreed with Fenerbahce about the termination of the employment contract and moved to Feyenoord on a free transfer.
Contract 34-year-old striker signed for a year and a half, and this season will try to help the current champions go to the Champions League. At the moment, this mission seems very difficult (the backlog from the second Ajax is 9 points).
Manuel Akandji, defender. From Basel to Borussia D, 21.5 million euros It is unlikely that many football fans in our country have previously heard the name of this football player. The 22-year-old Swiss only this season has become a stable player as a player of the basic structure of Basel.
Dortmund Borussia believed in the talent of this guy and paid not a small 21.5 million euros. During the match against Herta, he already formed the company Andrei Yarmolenko on the bench.
Cedric Bacamba, forward. From Villarreal to Beijing Guoan, 40 million euros (and another 34 to 40 million euros of taxes), Chinese clubs somewhat reduced their fervor in the transfer market. The reason is prosaic: money. If the club does not bring profit, then he is forced to pay a one hundred percent tax for the purchase of a legionary, and unprofitable in Chinese football, almost all clubs.
And yet, even this duty did not prevent Beijing Guoan from issuing the transfer of Cedric Bacamba from Villarreal. "Submariners" will receive 40 million euros for the Congolese, and the Chinese Football Association will receive about the same amount (according to some sources, not 40, but 34 million euros). By the way, Cedric became the most expensive African football player in history, and his salary in the new club will be 18 million euros per year.
