The winter transfer window opened on 1st January, and clubs have until the end of the month to strengthen their squads. As in recent years though there have been few movements in the opening few days, Almería the most active so far after signing Mané and Hans Martínez, promoting Jonathan Zongo to the first team squad and letting Pellerano and Christian go. Meanwhile Atlético Madrid have added to their already formidable squad, getting ahead of Málaga to take José Sosa on loan, and Leo Baptistao may be moving to Betis on another loan deal to make space. Málaga themselves have had to settle an old debt with Demichelis to be able to register new players, but that done they have purchased Pablo Pérez from Newell’s Old Boys. More details below.
