Transfermarkt compiled the top 10 most expensive deals made on the last day of the winter transfer window. The Norwegian striker caused the biggest "explosion" in the ranking - he was bought for 49.7 million euros and climbed to the top of the list.
The source noted that the transfer window closed on Monday, February 2nd, in many top leagues. That is, the clubs added speed in the "last hours" and hastily closed the deal - someone strengthened the squad, someone reduced the risk, and someone took a big risk.
The top three are also noteworthy: two major deals from Italy and France, and the Saudi direction on one side. In short, there's money, there's intrigue, and there's the question "what's this about?"
Top 10 Most Expensive Transfers of the Winter 2025/2026:
1. Jørgen Strann Larsen - Wolverhampton Wanderers to Crystal Palace: €49.7 million
2. Ademola Lukman - Atalanta to Atletico Madrid: €35 million

This "last-day" list of transfers showed one thing: big money circulates even in winter, but decisions are made with even stricter calculations. Because if you make a mistake in the middle of the season - the schedule won't forgive you in spring.
