THE January transfer window is open and big names could be on the move, from Marcus Rashford to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

It is often tricky to get big ticket deals over the line in the mid-season window, with prices inflated and budgets reduced – but the 2025 edition is teasing major moves, with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain among Europe's giants tipped to spend before the Feb. 3 deadline.

The January window is effectively the last chance for clubs to make a major move to revive an ailing season or strengthen the push for silverware or Champions League qualification.

But it can be fraught with difficulty.

A perceived desperation from buying clubs to bring in targets can see valuations rise. Selling clubs are understandably reluctant to lose a key player midway through the campaign and look for extra incentive to offload now, rather than in the offseason.

They have little time to bring in their own replacements and with opposition teams aware of the windfall they may have just received for selling a star talent, negotiations become even more complicated.
