adminPARIS. — The January transfer window in Europe is poised to open this weekend, with the bulk of the spending set to be done by clubs in the English Premier League. Among the continent’s leading nations, clubs in Spain will be the first ones to be able to sign reinforcements, with the window there opening on Friday and shutting on January 30. In England, Germany and France, the window opens on Saturday, January 3 and will not shut until Monday, February 2, while a shorter window in Italy opens from January 5. English Premier League teams splurged a record £835 million in the summer and they should again be the busiest in this shorter window.
Most of the movement is unlikely to come before the final, crazy days of the window, but in the meantime much of the talk will surround Manchester United, who are said to have no upper limit on the amounts they can spend. — AFP.
