The start of the new year means the official start to a new transfer season in Europe. The January window opens as the fireworks go off around the globe, and there could be some transfer fireworks of their own in the coming month.
There have already been some, with Jesse Marsch's Red Bull Salzburg being raided by Liverpool (Takumi Minamino) and Borussia Dortmund (Erling Braut Haaland) after an impressive display on the Champions League stage. Bayer Leverkusen added another star on the rise to its ranks when it signed River Plate's Exequiel Palacios.
