What end of transfer window for FC Barcelona and Real Madrid?

This January is quieter than expected on the side of Barça, but also Real Madrid. No one has left, and no euro has been spent for the moment, while the two clubs seem to need to reinforce in different sectors. An attacker would do good at FC Barcelona, ​​while on the side of Madrid, a new defender would be welcome. It must be said that in all the beginning of the month, the Barcelona leaders were well occupied with this famous Olmo affair, while on the side of Madrid, we are still quite cautious in January.

On the Catalan side, the plans are clear: separate from one or even several players, but also try to bring in an offensive reinforcement. If Ronald Araujo will stay after being very close to Juventus and Hansi Flick convinced Eric Garcia not to leave, Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen are the main candidates for a departure. Only, Spaniard is coveted by several Liga clubs, but he would not particularly want to make his luggage. As for the Danish, several English clubs and Juventus are interested, but his very last injury may cool the Turinois. Unai Hernandez, from team B, will bring him a check for 5 million leaving for Al-Ittihad, but it will take another departure if the Blaugranas want to welcome a new striker by February 3.

Barça is waiting for a player

Since the start of the transfer window, and even if some players like Jérémy Doku have offered themselves, Marcus Rashford has been priority. A name which is unanimous internally and which has been validated by Hansi Flick, but the financial side is an obstacle. Barça returned to the famous rule of 1: 1 of the Liga financial fair play, which will allow it to recruit and record players more easily. But you still have to make funds to be able to accommodate the Mancunian, and thus be able to finance his loan and his salary. If it is not Rashford, another striker should land since the German coach told his management that he wishes a reinforcement in front. Anyway, we will therefore have at least a new face in Catalonia for the second part of the season.

On the Madrid side, there could be some minor starts, like that of Jesus Vallejo. But overall, this should be calm at this level, the Madrid do not have a specially wide enrollment on the quantitative level. The Vinicius Jr file fascinates Spain, but if departure in Saudi Arabia there is, it will be for the end of the season. Real Madrid is working on Trent Alexander-Arnold, but unless Liverpool is revising its requirements in a drastic way, it will also be for the summer. The central defender's file will also conclude during the summer transfer window. There is the case Jesus Fortaa – promising lateral 17 years – to be paid quickly since his contract expires in June 2025, but everything indicates that this final sprint of the transfer window will be calm in Madrid.
