Clubs across Europe leagues can begin to evaluate their performances thus far as we approach the midway point of the season.
Teams can assess the many areas they have been deficient and need to improve, driving investment in such areas during the approaching January transfer window.
The new football calendar has stretched clubs, resulting in an increase in the number of games played across several competitions, which has led to exhaustion and injuries among players.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that several teams will actively participate in the upcoming transfer window to mitigate the effects of the new football calendar.
The January transfer window offers teams a chance to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season, and we can anticipate many players switching clubs.
As a result, we will analyze players with huge potential who could make big moves in the upcoming transfer window.
The Sporting Lisbon box-predator is currently one of the best strikers in the world, with many elite teams keeping an eye on him.
His form has been terrific since last season, with a summer move predicted in the previous transfer window, but no deal was completed. However, we believe the Swedish forward will make a move in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Viktor Gyokeres’ form this season has been spectacular, with twenty-five goals across all competitions for his club.
He has acquired global prominence with his pace and ball striking abilities, with several clubs particularly in the Premier League interested in a move.
Sporting Lisbon has stated that they will only allow a transfer for any club that can offset his release clause, which is worth millions of pounds.
Meanwhile, with Ruben Amorim ruling out a possible January reunion with the Swedish striker at Manchester United, other teams are primed to make a big money bid.
Rashford has appeared to be shockingly available in the transfer market after the England forward declared that he wants to start a new chapter after nine years with Manchester United.
He has been frozen out of the Red Devils squad for two consecutive games, with head coach Ruben Amorim stating that he expects the England international to improve his performances.
Rashford’s current deal with Manchester United expires in 2028, but if he continues to be sidelined from the squad in the upcoming fixtures, a winter transfer out of the club might be finalized.
The Chelsea forward has faced limited game time this season, notably in the Premier League despite being the club’s top scorer across all competitions.
Nkunku has majorly featured in the Conference League, starting four of the five fixtures; however, he has fallen behind Nicolas Jackson as the team’s first-choice striker.
Considering his prowess and the little game time he has in the Premier League; the French forward may want to contemplate a move away from the club in the upcoming transfer window to where he can be a starter.
The Egyptian forward is set to be Frankfurt’s next big cash windfall following his tremendous season thus far.
Omar Marmoush has piqued the interest of top European teams with his goal-scoring abilities and line-breaking passes. He has scored thirteen goals and provided seven assists in fourteen league games.
Furthermore, he is Bundesliga’s second highest scorer, trailing only Harry Kane by one goal, and Frankfurt is set for his departure in January with several clubs anticipated to make offers.
The German defender is having a spectacular season at Bayern Leverkusen, and has attracted the interest of several teams, with a move rumored to be close.
His greatest strength is his ability to win aerial duels, as well as to make precise tackles and accurate long-range passes.
Jonathan Tah’s contract will expire in June 2025, and he will be available as a free agent. However, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are reportedly vying for the German defender to bolster their defenses.
The winter transfer market will officially open on January 1, 2025, and we predict a busy window with several clubs competing to improve their squads ahead of the second half of the season. However, the aforementioned players have the potential to change clubs in the coming weeks.
