Lateset Transfers Update (spain)

As expected, the winter transfer market has been very slow once again this season. The biggest moves have been out of Spain, with Rossi signing for Fiorentina, and Llorente agreeing terms with Juventus, albeit that his transfer will not take place until the end of the season. Guardiola has also confirmed he will be leaving us to join Bayern Munich in the summer, a bit of a surprise after so many rumours of his going either to England or Italy. Some La Liga clubs have added to their squads though, with Málaga, Osasuna, Deportivo and Granada the most active. There may though still be some interesting last minute signings, with Real Madrid looking to cover for Casillas after he broke a thumb midweek, and also trying to off-load the likes of Kaká. Many rumours also as to whether David Villa will go, although the only move really expected in the Nou camp is the loaning out of players such as Cuenca or Dos Santos for them to gain playing experience. Whatever happens in the next few days, the window closes again at midnight on Thursday, and (with the usual exceptions) no more moves will be allowed until the end of the season. Real Madrid had signed Diego López from Sevilla. López was previously an understudy to Casillas, but a move to Villarreal brought him international recognition. The reported fee was €4 million, and he has signed to 2017.
