The January transfer window is now open in La Liga, and teams have already started making moves to strengthen their squads ahead of the second half of the season.
One of the most notable signings so far has been Barcelona's move to sign Brazilian midfielder Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich. The 26-year-old has made a strong impression since joining the Catalan giants, scoring two goals and assisting three others in his first six games for the club.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid have also had some success in the January transfer market, signing Spanish defender Nacho Monreal from Arsenal for a reported fee of £55 million. Monreal has become a key player for the Los Blancos this season, contributing to their impressive form in the league and helping them win back-to-back La Liga titles.
In addition to these high-profile transfers, many other clubs in La Liga have also made moves to improve their squads. Atletico Madrid, for example, signed Moroccan winger Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea for a reported fee of £38 million, while Valencia have brought in young French forward Anthony Modeste from Lille.
Overall, the January transfer window has been a busy one for La Liga teams, with plenty of players moving across the continent. While there may be some uncertainty about how the winter transfer window will end, it looks like there will be plenty of action in the coming weeks as teams look to bolster their squads for the second half of the season.
