Large Transfers That Have The Potential To Happen In January 2020

The January transfer window has officially opened. Various players have been linked with clubs around the world. Most of the rumors will not be proven true. However, there are several movements that have the possibility of being relatively more capable.

On this occasion, the starting eleven will try to summarize a big transfer that could potentially occur in January 2020.

Samuel Umtiti (Man City)

It is reported that L'Equipe, Manchester City are interested in redeeming Samuel Umtiti from Barcelona in the January 2020 transfer market. City need Umtiti to strengthen the back line. City is experiencing a crisis in the defense sector. Vincent Kompany's departure in the 2019 summer transfer market left City with only Aymeric Laporte, John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi who played as central defenders.

When Laporte was still entangled with injuries, The Citizens manager, Pep Guardiola, was forced to play Kyle Walker and Fernandinho as center backs in a number of matches.

The chance of Manchester City getting Umtiti's signature is fairly large. The reason is, the French national team defender has begun to be removed from the Barcelona main squad.

This season, he has appeared in only five matches in all competitions with a playing time of 367 minutes. Losing to compete with Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique made Umtiti sit on the bench more often.

James Maddison (Man United)

Manchester United plans to release Jesse Lingard as barter for Leicester City player James Maddison. In addition, The Red Devils are also preparing a fund of 45 million pounds or around 817 billion rupiah in addition.

Indeed, since the start of this season, Lingard, who has appeared in 26 matches in all competitions, has only been able to score one goal and one assist. The goal he created was obtained last November, when MU lost 1-2 to FC Astana in the Europa League match.

Meanwhile, Maddison played in 23 matches in all competitions, but has netted nine goals since the start of this season. The 23-year-old player has also released three assists for The Foxes.

Marcos Alonso (Inter Milan)

Dailymail reports, Antonio Conte intends to reunite with his former Chelsea team, Marcos Alonso. Conte was the man who brought Alonso to London from Fiorentina, and now he wants the Spain international to join him at Inter.

While still a Chelsea coach, Alonso was a key player for Conte in his squad, especially when they won the English Premier League in the 2016/17 season.

This season Alonso's playing minutes in the Premier League are not so many, under the leadership of coach Frank Lampard, he has only made eight appearances in the league.

Willian (Juventus)

Reporting from the tribuna, Juventus began to take concrete steps to bring Willian to Turin. The Bianconeri have opened talks with representatives of the Chelsea winger.

Willian's slick performance has made a number of clubs have a crush on the winger. The Old Lady even admitted that she was serious about recruiting Willian. They are reported to have started to open talks to see the potential transfer of a footballer whose contract only remains this season.

According to the report, the Juventus representative recently signed a contract with Willian's agent. They were reported to have invited the agent to come to Turin. They want to present their plan to hook Willian to their team.

Lucas Torreira (Napoli)

Serie A club Napoli is reportedly interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira. The Uruguayan player actually only joined Arsenal last season and had a promising appearance. Unfortunately, he experienced a decline in performance in his second season.

Emery's change of position from defensive midfielder to attacking midfielder at the start of the season was one of the first starts to decline his performance.

He also said that he had difficulty adapting to football and the lifestyle in England. This also raises speculation if he wants to leave Arsenal.

With this situation, dailymail claimed, Napoli had contacted the player's agent to make an offer. Napoli itself reportedly needs a new midfielder because the existing squad is starting to decline. They are currently in a crisis of victory after never winning in the last eight matches in Serie A.

Christian Eriksen (Inter Milan)

Christian Eriksen looks like he will really leave Tottenham Hotspur this winter. The club he will go to next is most likely Inter Milan.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter Milan are ahead of several other great teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester United in chasing Christian Eriksen's signature. Not only that, the Italian club is said to be able to gain huge profits if they succeed in landing the midfielder.

The reason is, the contract for the Danish player will end in June 2020. This means that the transfer value has dropped dramatically in this January transfer window.

Reports in Italy say the Nerazzurri only spent no more than 30 million euros. This value has also been approved by Tottenham so that they don't lose their players for free next summer.

Paul Pogba (Juventus)

Juventus is ready to offer Adrien Rabiot in order to recruit Paul Pogba from Manchester United. In addition, the Serie A giants will also offer funds of 70 million euros.

As is known, MU is reportedly ready to sell the French player because the club is not at all satisfied with its commitment. As reported by dailymail, Juventus are willing to sell Rabiot, for 25 million euros. MU wants to get around 170 million euros from possible sales in this market session. And, the Juventus proposal could be a good compromise for MU.

MU has actually struggled to maintain Pogba. Only, it seems that attitude is starting to change. The Red Devils management feels Pogba has decided to leave the club at the end of this season. That's regardless of what happened this January.
