The winter transfer window traditionally begins on January 1 in most countries. It is on this day that the transfers officially take place that teams have agreed upon in recent days or even months.
By 1:00 PM on the first day of the new year, 3849 transfers totaling 95,740 million euros had already been processed.
Only two transfers "cost" more than 10 million euros, namely Diego Gomez’s move from Miami to Brighton (13 million) and 24-year-old forward Paulinho’s transfer from Atletico Mineiro to Palmeiras for 18 million euros.
