10 Great ‘Cut-Price’ Deals To Be Had In January

Ever since the Bosman ruling came in to effect the possibility for clubs to snap up players for a bargain price has been a reality. Summer transfers like Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri proved the power of players to force a move to other clubs and arguably for a cheaper price than expected. As we approach the January transfer window there are a number of players in either the last six or eighteen months of their contract who could be available for transfer. Whether it is because they no longer wish to continue with their current club or the club no longer sees their services as necessary varies from player to player but one thing that doesn’t is the potential for a few million pounds to be knocked off their asking price. For many of the clubs they know it is the last chance saloon to either sell these players in January, persuade them to sign a new contract or risk losing them for nothing at the end of the season. For most clubs the only real option will be facilitate the sale of these players for as much as being sports clubs they are also businesses.
