The English Premier League faced a rocky start in the first month of 2015 when Liverpool captain and midfielder Steven Gerrard decided to quit the Merseyside club.
Nevertheless, January is the month of fresh transfers and football fans could see some surprise moves in the League.
Here is a prediction of possible transfers that football fans might see in the 2015 January transfer window –
Mario Balotelli (Liverpool) Loaned to Olympiakos
For some time now, Balotelli has been in the media for all the wrong reasons. In the second half of 2014, he was transferred to Liverpool from AC Milan for a £16 million fee. It has been four months with the club and he is yet to score his first goal. It could be the case that his style does not suit the conditions. Based on this scenario, Olympiakos F.C. in Greece might be an ideal club for his transfer. He can be loaned out to Olympiakos where he can find his footing and come back strong to answer his critics.
Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton) Transferred to Real Madrid
Real Madrid has been facing troubles with Sami Khedira, thanks to the injury suffered by the midfielder. Even their intent to sign Lucas Silva of Cruzeiro seems to have fallen apart. This is where Morgan Schneiderlincan be seen walking in the midst of star players at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid already has two French players and by signing Schneiderlin, another French footballer, they can sail through the toughest matches quite comfortably.
Sami Khedira (Real Madrid) Transferred to Arsenal
Sami Khedira’s Real Madrid contract ends in the summer of 2015. His injuries and two-bit appearances seem to be hurting the Spanish giants massively. Even the team coach Carlo Ancelotti seems interested in looking for a good transfer for Khedira. In walks Arsenal. It was speculated that the English Premier League team is interested in the Real Madrid player’s transfer. January could be the perfect moment to seal this deal for the English club.
Nigel de Jong (AC Milan) Transferred to Manchester United
Since Sir Alex Ferguson quit Manchester United as coach, the club has only experienced a downward spiral. The club’s defence as well as attacks seem weak and their central midfield appears to face a similar distress. As part of the team transfers, they can bring in AC Milan’s Nigel de Jong. Though the EPL mogul already backed out of buying the Dutchman, there is no denying that the player can be the answer to the club’s prayers.
Ralf Fahrmann (Schalke) Transferred to Liverpool
The German and Schalke goalkeeper is only 26 years old and one of the best goalkeepers in football at the moment. If interested, Liverpool can sign the talented player this January. With Schalke, Fahrmann has so far had a fantastic season, with 71 saves in 17 Bundesliga games. He can be Liverpool’s top signing this season.
