The January 2026 transfer window has kicked off with several high-profile moves across Europe’s top leagues, as clubs look to bolster their squads for the second half of the season. While the window remains open until February 2, early deals have already made headlines, particularly in the Premier League, where spending continues to dominate.

One of the standout transfers is Antoine Semenyo’s £65 million switch from Bournemouth to Manchester City. The Ghanaian forward, known for his pace and finishing, joins Pep Guardiola’s side to add depth amid injury concerns in attack. City, who have been pushing for this deal since early in the window, see Semenyo as a key addition to challenge for the title.

Crystal Palace broke their club record by signing Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur. The Welsh winger’s move to Selhurst Park is aimed at injecting creativity into Palace’s forward line. Meanwhile, West Ham United secured forward Valentin Castellanos from Lazio, adding firepower to their squad.

In other Premier League news, Arsenal reportedly landed Alysson from Gremio for £10 million, while Bournemouth sent Julian Araujo on loan to Celtic. Brighton welcomed back Pascal Gross from Borussia Dortmund, marking a return to familiar territory for the German midfielder.

Across Europe, Serie A saw Atalanta’s Marco Brescianini move to Fiorentina, and Ligue 1’s Le Havre parted ways with Younes Namli to PEC Zwolle. Bayern Munich loaned Daniel Peretz to Southampton, highlighting the cross-league activity.

As the window progresses, expect more activity with clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea potentially entering the fray amid managerial changes. Stay tuned to Total Football News for updates.
