The January transfer window is officially closed. Let’s see what the biggest moves were this window and what your biggest clubs deal was.
Chelsea have signed Enzo Fernandez for a British-record £106.8m from Benfica.
The transfer surpasses the £100m Man City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish 18 months ago.
Fernandez, who was bought by Benfica in the summer for a fee in the region of £10m, has signed an eight-and-a-half-year deal at Chelsea and is flying to London on Tuesday morning.
The Blues had been in talks to sign the 22-year-old World Cup winner throughout this month, but Benfica had refused to do business unless the Blues paid his €120m release clause.
It appears Chelsea have gone over that and paid €121m to the Portuguese club for Fernandez, who was named Young Player of the Tournament in Qatar.
The first instalment is £30m and the rest of the fee will be paid in five lump sums.
The negotiations were led by Chelsea’s co-owner Behdad Eghbali from London and talks lasted 12 hours.
Fernandez was left out of Benfica’s squad for their game against Arouca on Tuesday night, with the 22-year-old undergoing a medical in Portugal ahead of his switch to Stamford Bridge.
According to Portuguese broadcaster SIC, Fernandez will fly to the UK on Wednesday morning, with a private jet scheduled to leave Lisbon airport at 10.20am.
Chelsea pushed to sign Fernandez this month because they feared other clubs would come in for the midfielder in the summer.
River Plate are believed to be receiving 25 per cent of the fee – which is £26.7m.
Manchester United have signed Bayern Munich midfielder Marcel Sabitzer on loan until the end of the season in a late Deadline Day move.
There is no option to buy the Austria international.
United’s need for a midfielder intensified after Christian Eriksen was ruled out with an ankle injury until at least April, with Donny van de Beek unavailable for the rest of the season and Scott McTominay out for a few weeks.
The club were offered a host of midfielders including free agent Isco, Atletico Madrid’s Saul Ninguez and Yannick Carrasco and Lyon’s Houssem Aouar, but preferred Sabitzer.
Sabitzer joined Bayern from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2021 but has started just seven games in the Bundesliga so far this season.
Predominantly a central midfielder, the 28-year-old has also played as a defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, second striker and winger during his career.
Arsenal have signed Jorginho from Chelsea in a Deadline Day deal worth £12m, boosting their midfield ahead of a push for the Premier League title.
The 31-year-old Italy midfielder has signed an 18-month contract, with an option to extend for a further year.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal tried to sign Jorginho from Chelsea in the summer of 2020, just after he won the Champions League with the Blues and the year before he lifted the European Championships with Italy.
Arteta was also the assistant coach at Manchester City when they tried to sign him in 2018 – but Jorginho turned down the move to join Maurizio Sarri instead at Chelsea from Napoli.
