Four most expensive January transfers so far in 2022

However,
every
season
there
have
been
a
few
exceptions.
If
the
fee
involved
is
high
for
a
player,
often
a
side
looks
to
cash
in
on
him
in
this
period.
There
have
been
a
similar
couple
of
cases
in
the
ongoing
transfer
window
already
and
here,
we
have
taken
a
look
at
such
four
expensive
deals
that
have
taken
place
so
far-

1.
Ferran
Torres
(Manchester
City
to
Barcelona)

Despite
the
financial
limitations
Barcelona
managed
to
shell
out
a
massive
€55m
fee
on
the
Manchester
City
youngster.
The
21-year-old
found
it
hard
to
break
into
the
first
team
under
Guardiola
at
City
despite
showing
promises
in
limited
opportunities.

With
Barcelona
needing
to
sign
a
striker
following
the
premature
exit
of
Aguero,
the
club
decided
to
fork
out
the
massive
fee.
With
the
attacker
at
just
21-year
of
age,
this
could
be
a
great
investment.

2.
Lucas
Digne
(Everton
to
Aston
Villa)

The
Everton
left-back
changed
the
club
following
the
miff
with
former
manager
Rafael
Benitez.
Ever
since
his
arrival
to
Premier
League,
the
French
international
has
been
one
of
the
best
left-backs
in
the
division.

Unsurprisingly
he
has
had
a
lot
of
offers
to
choose
from
following
his
availability.
But
Steven
Gerrard
manages
to
sneak
into
a
deal
close
to
€30million
which
could
be
one
of
the
best
pieces
of
business
by
the
Villa
park
side
in
recent
times.

3.
Chris
Wood
(Burnley
to
Newcastle
United)

Despite
Newcastle
United’s
recent
cash-riches,
very
few
players
are
aligning
towards
a
move
to
St.
James
which
could
be
due
to
their
relegation
fight.
With
the
side
desperate
to
land
a
striker,
they
chose
to
poach
a
player
from
another
relegation
battler
Burnley.
Chris
Wood
changed
the
side
for
a
whopping
€30m
and
could
be
the
deciding
factor
in
their
survival.

4.
Vitaliy
Mykolenko
(Dynamo
Kiev
to
Everton)

Everton
replaced
Lucas
Digne
with
this
Dynamo
Kyiv
defender
who
is
considered
one
of
the
hottest
prospects
in
world
football.
Everton
paid
around
€23
million
for
his
signature
and
at
just
22-years
of
age,
there
is
definitely
a
bright
future
ahead
of
him.
