Also on the list are newcomers from Bayern and Barcelona.
Robert Lewandowski
It’s too soon to evaluate winter newcomers, but summer transfers are ripe. For 45 million euros, Barcelona received a goal machine. Knowing Bayern’s problems, Manchester United, Chelsea and many other clubs in the center of attack, Xavi was looking for someone to complete the “kindergarten”. The Polish fit perfectly, even as Kahn twisted his finger against his temple. Who will change Bayern to Barcelona? Lewandowski was eliminated from the Europa League, but in La Liga he helps the Catalans break away from Real Madrid. Considering Robert sleeps with his personal trainer, his wife Anna, he can last a couple more years in football. A good transfer, especially against the background of rumors that new ones will not be allowed.
Carlo Casemirò
As in the case of Lewandowski, the player was dissuaded. Kroos and Modric can’t calm down that their longtime partner has entered Manchester United, to a club that has no chance of winning an English title this season. The team relegated from the Champions League. But Carlos wanted more freedom and a different role than in Madrid. According to legend, he wrote to his agent about him after the flights began Manchester Unitedthat he will “fix everything”. He keeps his word, even though in England he ran into British referees. He will miss many important matches through suspension. But Ten Hag has found a man with the psychology of a champion. A successful transfer on the player’s initiative, because De Jong was invited first, but Frenkie refused.
Alexander Zincenko
The case that joining your favorite childhood club is beneficial to both the footballer and the new team. Zinchenko likes Arsenal. He managed to score trophies for Manchester City – a four-time champion Premier League. Alexander was the first of the “Gunners” to believe in the leadership of the championship. Infected by the right attitude of colleagues. Of course, the end has not yet been set, Manchester City are too dangerous to crown Arsenal. But the reincarnation of the team clearly happened. Tactically, Zinchenko is very important to Arteta, like Odegaard and Partey, because Alexander constantly moves from the left wing to the center and delivers many important first passes.
Enzo Fernández
Didn’t you expect to see the world champion here? Many have managed to forget, but the midfielder only appeared at Benfica last July. It is the transfer to the Portuguese club that can be called one of the best of the season. Often large transactions only involve costs. And here Benfica got a fantastic central midfielder, with whom they reached the playoffs of the Champions League. Already without Enzo, they went to the quarterfinals of the tournament, and in their part of the grid there are no regulars in the finals, only Italians – Napoli, Milan and Inter. João Mario will continue to struggle, while Enzo has moved to Chelsea, leaving Benfica and River Plate with €121m. This is the football business.
Matijs de Ligt
This is where the estimates were wrong. I didn’t think Dutch would be successful. But his failures at Juventus coincided with difficult moments for the Turin club. In Bayern, even if Nagelsmann likes to blend in, it’s easier and more fun to play. The defense of the German giant is not perfect, but the presence of de Ligt, who took the ball away from Sommer’s tape, makes him one of the favorites Champions League closer to the final in Istanbul. But the draw is so complicated – first Manchester City, and then the winner of the pair Chelsea and Real Madrid – that de Ligt will not be bored. Sommer gave a colleague for a save against PSG Swiss Chocolate Truck – The Dutchman sent 700 kilograms of candy to a food bank that distributes free sets to those in need. For dessert, Matijs himself has the Champions League, as in his youth with Ajax.
Aurélien Tchouameni
Casemiro’s departure did not leave Tchuameni without a choice. I had to immediately harness myself and not gradually enter the base. Not everyone thought the Monaco midfielder was ready to play for Real Madrid. Aurélien performed well world Cup. If it is in order physically, it should remain in the optimal “creamy” base. Until Ancelotti made him a new Casemiro, the Brazilian himself did not play perfectly right away, he even went on loan to Porto. And according to Tchuameni, all signs of the equation will be put by the playoffs Champions League. We know one thing for sure. If Casemiro left and Tchuameni was not signed, then Kroos would leave his lungs on the pitch, always playing in the support zone. Aurelien hasn’t been impressed in recent games, but Perez has made a competent transfer, he hasn’t repeated the mistake of the Makelele name when they lived up to Beckham in the support zone.
Jules Kundet and Andreas Christensen
You can separate the transfers, because there’s a €50m defender and a free agent, but they can’t be ignored. Ter Stegen has conceded 9 goals in 26 rounds of La Liga. The best advertisement for Xavi’s renewed defensive formation. But the balls awarded in European competitions are proof that this is only the beginning of the journey. A new Puyol arrives in Kunde, a man who can play in the center and on the right wing. Sometimes Araujo is more appropriate there, but more often the Uruguayan, paired with Christensen, works in the center. Alba will also start, like Piqué, but Balde is there. Defense is important for the new Barcelona. They were lucky to have hired a Frenchman and a Dane.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Dybala and Kim are clearly not Italy’s worst rookies of the season, but Khvicha is on another level. Few people in football get such enthusiasm from the game as Georgians. Maradona’s spirit is close, as they believe in Naples. The local club haven’t been champions of Italy since Diego’s time. But, given that Osimkhen and Kvaratskhelia are in the running, they should win the Scudetto together with Spalletti. And appetite came with eating. The Georgian can play in the Champions League final. Of course, the draw is more complicated than it seems: Milan, Inter and Benfica are dangerous, but the other side of the grid is more difficult. Kvaratskhelia recently played for a club that was in the relegation zone RPLand now it inspires Italy. Miracles happen, especially to talented people.
Erling Holland
Hardly any explanation is needed here. The Norwegian will collect many records Premier League. He has already broken the success of the Manchester City club, which lasted 94 years. The Norwegian has picked up more balls than Tommy Jones. Five goals in a Champions League play-off match? He would have scored six if it hadn’t been for Guardiola’s decision. The carrot ambassador must carefully monitor his health, because injuries do not bypass him. But Guardiola does not accidentally change the young man during matches, he often saves. And Rafaela Pimenta, who represents Erling’s interests, naturally recalled Real Madrid. Holland wins Premier Leaguebut from Manchester he can go to Madrid, as Ronaldo once did.
