The 2022 winter transfer window has been closed, and compared to previous years, this winter transfer window affected by the Omilon virus is slightly deserted. However, this slightly deserted winter transfer window is very likely to change the future situation of the Premier League.
One is the layout of Manchester City.
Defending champions Manchester City have actually only completed 1 in, 1 out of 2 trades in this winter window – Ferran Torres returned to Spain with his own children's dream and brought in £46 million in transfer funds for Manchester City. Manchester City spent only £19 million a year ago to get a forward spare tire, which brought £27 million to the club, and Manchester City turned around and spent £14.2 million from Aliga giants River Plate to sign the current hot young striker Julian Alvarez.
The 22-year-old Alvarez is already considered the future forward of Argentine football, and if he can cash in on his talents at Manchester City, then City's dominance in the Premier League will be unshakable.
The second is Liverpool's blood exchange.
Since Fenway Sports took over, Liverpool have always been meticulous, only buying the right ones, not expensive ones. But one thing, as long as it's right, then it doesn't matter how expensive it is – the £75 million introduction of defence leader Van Dijk and the £67.5 million goalkeeper Alisson are classics in transfer reinforcements.
This winter window, Liverpool has been standing still, but before the winter window transfer deadline, they cut off Tottenham's winger Luis Dias, which Has always been on their minds, making Tottenham chairman Levy and coach Conte jump like thunder.
With a transfer fee of £38.5 million + a floating clause of £12.5 million, Liverpool is a bloody bet this time. Díaz is Liverpool's biggest signing since Van and Alisson, and may be the first step in the future. When the Red Arrow three entered the year of establishment, Salah's contract extension was doubtful, Mane was not as good as before, Firmino was becoming more and more Buddhist, and Liverpool's blood change was inevitable.
Díaz, the 25-year-old Portuguese Super League favourite fried chicken, is in his prime, he is also the piece of the puzzle that Klose has been looking for, the Copa America Golden Boot, the fairy ball professional, is destined to be the perfect complement to Klopp's tactics, and more importantly, he is likely to become the biggest variable in Liverpool's title battle with Manchester City.
The third is the relegation of Newcastle.
If there is anyone who works the hardest in this winter transfer window, it must be Newcastle, although this is brought about by the desire to survive, but no one can deny the efforts of Newcastle. The horror brought by the capital of 320 billion pounds has made the remaining 19 clubs in the Premier League form a united front, resolutely not allowing their own players to transfer to Newcastle, but at the moment of "money ability", how can these small and medium-sized teams in the Premier League bear it?
As soon as the winter window opened, Newcastle brought back England international Trippier from Atletico for only £12 million; then poached relegation rival Burnley with a penalty, spending £26 million on two birds with one stone; then importing defender Dan Byrne from Brighton for £12 million, and finally renting defender Taggart from Villa.
The above few reinforcements are just newcastles for relegation, spending £35 million (in addition to a floating bonus of £6 million) to sign Brazilian midfielder Guimarães from Ligue 1 giants Lyon is the first step in the transition from defense to attack.
Guimarães is considered the most promising attacking midfielder in football today. This season, Guimarães is the only two players in the big five leagues who can achieve 35+ chances, 35+ tackles and 35+ passes, the other being Bernardo Silva at Manchester City.
Newcastle's total investment in this winter window has exceeded 100 million pounds, although the target is relegation, but once the relegation is successful, this summer's transfer window, the shock that Newcastle brings to football will not be the humble winter window.
