The scale of modern football finance continues to stretch belief. Premier League clubs had already shattered records last summer, spending an astonishing £3 billion ($4 billion) and eclipsing the previous high of £2.36 billion set just two years earlier.

Against that backdrop, January’s business was never going to be quiet. Instead, it offered a sharp lesson in contrasts: necessity versus excess, planning versus panic.

Among the headline moves, Karim Benzema’s switch from Al Ittihad to fellow PIF-owned side Al Hilal stood out. Unlike many Saudi Pro League recruits who eventually drift back to Europe, Benzema remains in the Kingdom for now, strengthening Al Hilal’s title charge against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.

That context makes Ronaldo’s apparent frustration and reported refusal to play feel less coincidental. In purely footballing terms, Benzema looks an ideal fit for Simone Inzaghi’s system and should continue to deliver goals at an elite level.

In England, Crystal Palace’s decision to push through a £43 million move for Strand Larsen raised eyebrows. The deal appeared dependent on Jean-Philippe Mateta’s departure, a move that collapsed after a failed medical, but Palace pressed on regardless.

It is a bold, arguably risky play. Larsen’s form this season has been poor, with just one league goal and a loss of his starting place. While last season’s 14-goal return offers some encouragement, confidence is fragile, and big fees rarely mix well with players searching for belief.

Elsewhere, patience finally paid off for Ademola Lookman. After a turbulent standoff with Atalanta last summer, the Nigerian forward secured his long-awaited move to Atlético Madrid. For Atalanta, €35 million plus bonuses is solid business given his contract situation; for Atleti, it feels like planning, potentially easing the eventual loss of Antoine Griezmann with another unpredictable attacking weapon.

Some departures were more bittersweet. Oleksandr Zinchenko’s exit from Arsenal closes the chapter on a transformative signing. Injuries have dulled his influence since 2024, making the timing understandable, even if a €1.5 million fee feels underwhelming. Ajax, however, may feel they’ve struck gold, acquiring a technically gifted player whose game should suit the Eredivisie’s lower physical demands.

Short-term pragmatism defined Nottingham Forest’s move for Stefan Ortega following John Victor’s season-ending injury. Ortega’s calm competence at Manchester City made him a reliable understudy to Ederson, and although City failed to maximize his value, Forest gained crucial stability during a difficult spell.

In South America, Flamengo’s capture of Lucas Paquetá marked a statement of intent and a reminder of Brazilian football’s growing financial muscle. For West Ham, the deal represents sensible business—recouping value on a player whose career has stalled after off-field turbulence. For Paquetá, it offers a chance at renewal.

Manchester City’s sale of Oscar Bobb felt like a reluctant concession. Injuries and new arrivals blocked his pathway, but £27 million plus future clauses is strong value for limited first-team exposure. Fulham, by contrast, are gambling on potential, injecting youth into one of the Premier League’s oldest squads.

January also exposed how pressure shapes decision-making. West Ham’s reunion of Adama Traoré with Nuno Espírito Santo smacks of familiarity over imagination, while Aston Villa’s swift move to bring Douglas Luiz back on loan speaks to urgency amid an injury crisis. Luiz’s return feels both practical and symbolic—another homecoming driven as much by financial regulation as football logic.

In Barcelona, the window oscillated between opportunism and compromise. João Cancelo’s loan return adds much-needed flexibility, even if it underlines Saudi clubs’ financial indifference. The temporary departure of Marc-André ter Stegen to Girona, meanwhile, benefits everyone except Barça’s wage bill—but minutes and market value now matter more.

Manchester City’s late swoop for Marc Guéhi was ruthlessly efficient. £20 million plus bonuses is startlingly low for a defender of his calibre, though wages inflate the true cost. For Crystal Palace, losing their captain mid-season is a heavy blow, particularly with European ambitions still alive.

Elsewhere, familiar patterns emerged. Donyell Malen’s swift Premier League exit reflects misalignment more than failure. Conor Gallagher’s return to England highlights Atlético Madrid’s depth and Tottenham’s continued preference for energy over elegance. Antoine Semenyo’s big-money move reinforces the premium now placed on proven Premier League attackers.

And fittingly, January opened with a deal shaped by development rather than dominance. Endrick’s loan to Lyon offers the teenage prodigy what Real Madrid could not: minutes. For Lyon, starved of goals, it is a calculated risk worth taking.

In the end, January 2026 was less about spectacle and more about consequence. Some clubs acted with clarity, others with desperation. Whether these decisions prove inspired or regrettable will be revealed not in headlines but in the months ahead—where seasons, and sometimes careers, are truly decided.

With 39 goals in his first La Liga campaign, the French superstar has surpassed all previous debutant tallies, underlining his exceptional adaptation to Spanish football and reinforcing his status as one of the sport’s elite forwards.

Although Real Madrid suffered a narrow 4-3 defeat to archrivals Barcelona, which dealt a blow to their title hopes, Mbappé’s performance stood out. His clinical finishing and attacking presence offered a silver lining for Los Blancos and their fans.

This historic milestone not only highlights Mbappé’s immediate impact in Spain but also signals his growing legacy as a central figure in Real Madrid’s future ambitions.

Against Barcelona, Kylian Mbappé broke the record for the most goals scored in their debut season for Real Madrid.

◉ 39 – Kylian Mbappé (24/25)
◎ 37 – Ivan Zamorano (92/93)
◎ 33 – Cristiano Ronaldo (09/10)
◎ 33 – Ruud van Nistelrooy (06/07)

Recall, the French international delivered a stunning brace against Leganés, bringing his goal tally to 33—matching the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in his debut season with Los Blancos.

With several matches still left in the 2024/25 campaign, Mbappé is well on track to surpass the milestone.

The former PSG talisman opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu from the penalty spot, but Leganés quickly responded through Diego García.

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has officially signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2030. The renewal had been a top priority for Barcelona’s board, as his previous deal was set to expire in 2026.

Pedri’s decision to extend his stay comes as a major boost for the club, particularly for head coach Hansi Flick, who has openly expressed his admiration for the talented midfielder.

The Spanish international made his Barcelona debut during the 2020/21 season in a 4-0 victory over Villarreal in September. He soon followed it up with his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 5-1 win over Ferencváros in October, before netting his first La Liga goal against Real Betis the following month.

Barcelona released an official statement confirming the contract extension:

“Barcelona and the player, Pedro González ‘Pedri,’ have agreed a contract renewal, and he is set to stay with the club until June 30, 2030. The Blaugrana midfielder signed his new contract today in the presence of FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta, first vice-president Rafa Yuste, and the club’s director of football, Anderson Luis de Souza ‘Deco’.”

Yamal made history in the match at the Bernabeu by becoming the youngest goalscorer in El Clasico, further cementing his reputation as one of football’s brightest young stars.

His goal followed Robert Lewandowski’s quick brace at the start of the second half, and Raphinha capped off the win with a late strike in the 84th minute.

This stunning El Clasico performance came just days after Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, silencing critics who suggested they had only been defeating weaker teams.

Yamal, reflecting on the two high-stakes victories, declared: “We believe we are the best team in the world… Now we have beaten Real Madrid 4-0 at their home. We’ve proven that we can beat anyone.”

Since Hansi Flick took over as manager from Xavi Hernandez, Barcelona has seen a resurgence. Despite two losses to Osasuna and Monaco, they lead La Liga with 37 goals, more than any other club in Europe’s top leagues.

Flick has relied heavily on young talents like Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, and Fermin Lopez, while Raphinha has contributed significantly with six league goals, including a recent hat-trick against Bayern.

Barcelona now prepares to host rivals Espanyol next Sunday, with a significant 20-point gap between the two clubs in La Liga.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment following his team’s 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in their recent La Liga clash.

Despite dominating large portions of the match, Real Madrid couldn’t maintain their lead and had to settle for a point.

“It is hard to cope with a draw in which we were very close to winning. It can happen; the opponents are very strong and have a lot of quality. Their goal was in the last minute; it’s a pity. We controlled the game well, and we came close,” Ancelotti stated.

Despite the late equalizer, Ancelotti remained optimistic about Real Madrid’s position in the league, noting, “I always like to think positively. We’ve won a point away from home, and we are a point closer to leaders Barcelona.”

The match was briefly halted due to objects being thrown onto the pitch by Atletico Madrid fans after Real Madrid took the lead.

Ancelotti commended referee Mateo Busquets Ferrer for his decision to pause the game until the situation was resolved, stating, “I don’t think it helped Atletico; it affected us both equally. We all wanted to play. The decision to stop the match was the right one. The referee mentioned that lighters were thrown, and he had to stop the match twice. If they threw another one, he had to suspend it.”

Real Madrid is set to travel to France on Wednesday for a UEFA Champions League match against Lille.

Robert Lewandowski has praised 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, hailing him as the best winger in the world despite his young age.

Lewandowski, now 36 and in the later stages of his career, compared his experience with Yamal’s meteoric rise, highlighting the teenager’s exceptional talent. Yamal has already made 59 appearances for Barcelona, contributing 11 goals and 14 assists, and earned 17 caps for Spain, scoring three goals, including one in the Euro 2024 semi-final against France.

In an interview, Lewandowski expressed his admiration for Yamal’s abilities, stating that the young winger has established himself as one of the finest players in his position globally. Yamal’s rapid rise has caught the attention of the football world, and Lewandowski’s endorsement further solidifies his growing reputation.

Lewandowski told B/R Football, when asked if Yamal can become one of the best players in the world: “Of course. Now it will be easy to say, of course I see him as the best winger in the world. But of course, he is 17 years old. A football career is so long, sometimes it’s not important how you start, what’s more important is how you finish or how will be the next years, not two or three years but the next 10-15 years. And in the next 15 years, he will be 32.

“When I see the next generation, they have a huge challenge, from them, in the social media. One day, you are the hero, but the next day, you are on the ground. I wish for him that he will be strong for the long career, and it doesn’t matter what the people are saying now, or what the people are going to say, he stays on the ground and thinks ‘okay, that is part of my life, the football that I want to enjoy, I want to give the fans a lot of happiness in the end’.”

Barcelona will next face Osasuna in La Liga. They are seeking to build on their flawless start to the season, having won all seven league games.

Real Madrid continues to break records as the footballing powerhouse sets a remarkable feat with their astonishing revenue for the 2023/24 financial year, solidifying their status as a global brand.

The Spanish giants have become the first club in football history to surpass the €1 billion mark in revenue, according to their official reports.

Los Blancos are arguably in the strongest playing condition of any squad in Europe, having added Kylian Mbappe to an already star-studded team that includes Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, among many others.

Their on-field successes, which included a La Liga and Champions League double last season, have been complemented by their off-field acumen, making them renowned as one of the best-run clubs in the world.

The club’s financial success is attributed to various factors, including lucrative sponsorship deals, a vast global fan base, and strategic business operations.

Real Madrid’s ability to attract top talent and consistently perform at the highest level has not only brought them titles but also substantial commercial opportunities.

This milestone underscores Real Madrid’s status as a global brand and a dominant force in both football and business.

Their achievement sets a new benchmark for other clubs, highlighting the potential financial rewards of combining sporting excellence with strategic commercial management.

Releasing their annual accounts for the 2023/24 financial year, a statement from Madrid reads: “Operating income (before disposal of fixed assets) for the 2023/24 financial has totalled €1.073bn, an increase of €230m (27%) compared to the 2022/23 financial year. In this period, despite the stadium not being fully operational, the club has succeeded in eclipsing the €1bn mark in operating income before disposal of fixed assets. This is an unprecedented figure for any football club. 

“Every line of business has seen growth, with the exception of broadcasting rights, where revenues received from La Liga in 2023/24 were lower than in the 2022/23 season. The gains in marketing and the stadium are particularly notable.

“From a commercial perspective, the club has significantly boosted its merchandising and sponsorship activities during the 2023/24 financial year. A substantial element in relation to the latter is the new deal with HP to be the team’s sleeve sponsor.

“As for the stadium, despite the business elements related to the remodel not being fully complete, there has been a progressive increase in terms of capacity and commercial operations over the course of the year. This saw the initiation of new business areas in the latter part of the financial cycle, in particular hosting major events and a new premium offering with new VIP experiences. 

“This has all resulted in a significant increase in stadium-related revenues, although it won’t be until the 2024/25 year that the stadium becomes fully operational in every area of business. Lastly, revenues from international competitions has seen a boost following victory in the Champions League (semi-finalists last year).”

In addition to Mbappe, the Brazilian sensation Endrick has also joined the Madrid team as they attempt to hold onto the national and European championships they won the previous year.

• Real Madrid confirm Nacho Fernández departure before Saudi transfer

Nacho Fernández has departed Real Madrid ahead of an anticipated move to the Saudi Pro League, as confirmed by the club on Tuesday.

Despite captaining the team to a Champions League and La Liga double this season, Nacho has left upon the expiration of his contract. The 34-year-old defender, who joined Madrid at the age of 10, boasts a remarkable tally of 26 trophies with the club, including six Champions League titles. His first-team debut came in 2012.

Nacho remains part of the Spain squad, contributing to their recent 1-0 victory over Albania, securing advancement to the European 2024 knockout round.

Reports suggest Nacho is poised to join Al Qadsiah in the SPL. Initially in talks with Al Ittihad, Nacho opted for Al Qadsiah’s offer to swiftly settle his future, according to sources.

Real Madrid expressed gratitude to Nacho in a statement: “Real Madrid would like to thank and express our appreciation to Nacho, one of the club’s biggest legends. Every Real Madrid fan is extremely proud of one of the most legendary youth academy graduates in our history.”

Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, added: “Since he arrived at our youth academy as a child, Nacho has been an example to everyone and has earned the affection, recognition and admiration of everyone at Real Madrid. Real Madrid is and always will be his home.”

Nacho, in turn, acknowledged Real Madrid fans via social media: “It has been months of reflection, indecision and doubt, but today I am here to tell you that I need to have a final and different experience along with my family and this is the perfect moment. Thank you Real Madrid for understanding me.”

“This one is dedicated to all my teammates, all the staff and the manager for the belief they had in me and, most importantly, the fans. The best club in the world. It’s a pleasure every time I get to play for this club. And Hala Madrid!”

Real Madrid spent around €120 million to sign Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund last summer, and he has proven to be one of the signings of the season. The former Birmingham City star scored 19 goals and provided six assists in 28 La Liga appearances, playing a crucial role in leading Los Blancos to their record 36th domestic league title.

Bellingham has not only been about the goals; he has also provided tactical versatility for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in midfield. The Italian manager has utilized him in various roles, and Bellingham has excelled in all of them, earning widespread praise for his top performances.

His excellence has extended into Europe, where Madrid are vying for their 15th Champions League title. Bellingham has contributed four goals and four assists in ten appearances.

Madrid will hope Bellingham can continue his stellar form when they face his former club in the final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Mason Greenwood is on a loan from Manchester United, and Getafe president Angel Torres has stated the club’s position on a permanent deal.

Following a six-month inquiry into Greenwood’s behavior off the field, United decided to cut ties with him on August 21. After that, the English attacker signed a one-year loan with Getafe. In his first 13 games, he has contributed seven goals, and the La Liga team is hoping he stays beyond the 2023–24 season.

The final agreement that saw Greenwood join Getafe on transfer deadline day in September did not contain a buy-option, but Torres has stated that they want to attempt to acquire him outright the following summer.

The Getafe president told Cadena SER: “With Greenwood, we are not only planning on him staying another year, but we also want to buy him.”

Although Greenwood’s contract with United expires in 2025, it has been stated that the Premier League’s biggest clubs would not take into account bringing him back into the starting lineup when his loan at Getafe ends.

Next year, though, the Madrid-based team may have fierce competition for the 22-year-old’s signing as Real Sociedad and Valencia, two La Liga rivals, will be closely monitoring his development. Lazio, the dominant team in Serie A, has reportedly expressed interest in Greenwood as well.

When Getafe returns to La Liga play on Saturday, traveling to Sevilla, Greenwood will be hoping to score once again. Despite their lack of road victories and current ninth-place ranking in La Liga, Jose Bordalas’ team is nine points ahead of Sevilla, who have been forced into a relegation battle following a wild start to the season.

After the unfortunate death of a fan in the bleachers at Los Carmenes, Granada and Athletic Club decided to postpone their La Liga match on Sunday.

According to Reuters, the game was called off after 17 minutes, with Athletic Club leading 1-0 courtesy of an Inaki Williams goal, when a supporter had a heart attack in the bleachers. An hour later, the death of the supporter was verified, and both sides agreed to suspend the game.

Both Granada and Athletic Club issued comments announcing the game’s suspension and expressing condolences to the family of the deceased supporter.

• “From the Entity we want to send our most sincere condolences to the family and friends, as well as to the entire Granada family,” read the statement from the home side. “The match between Granada CF and Athletic Club, suspended after the death of a subscriber of our Club.”

  Athletic Club added via their official social media accounts: “La Liga and the two clubs have agreed to call off the match due to the death of a fan at Los Cármenes. Athletic Club expresses its deepest condolences. Our thoughts are with the person’s family and loved ones.”

  La Liga has confirmed the match will be rescheduled, with an official date to follow as both clubs take some time to come to terms with the tragic events at Los Carmenes. “Granada CF vs. Athletic Club de Bilbao has been suspended following the tragic death of a fan at the Estadio Nuevo los Cármenes,” the Spanish top-flight said. “Our condolences go out to their family and friends, as well as to all Granada CF fans. A rescheduled date and time for the match will be announced in the near future.”

  Reigning La Liga champions Barcelona are among the clubs to have responded to the news at Granada. They said in a statement: “FC Barcelona expresses its deepest condolences to the loved ones of the fan who passed away during the game between Granada and Athletic Club. Rest in peace.”

  Granada will return to La Liga play on December 16 against Celta Vigo. Meanwhile, Athletic Club will host Atletico Madrid on the same day.
