In today’s transfer market, where key midfielders are being sold for prices in excess of £100 million, finding a good deal can be challenging. Gone are the days when you could buy Andrea Pirlo for free, pay £7 million for Nemanja Vidic or £8 million for Andy Robertson. However, with a little discretion, clubs can still identify unexpected and sophisticated transfer moves. Let’s take a look at six potential relatively low-cost transfers that can be made by Premier League clubs during the January transfer window.

Paulo Dybala
Paulo Dybala is a potential signing for the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, with a possible fee of £10.3 million. However, it is worth considering that Dybala’s contract includes a release clause, which allows your club to acquire one of the best left wingers for a relatively low fee. Despite this, there is a problem in the form of frequent injuries, due to which the player has missed 28 matches in the last 18 months. However, when fit, Dybala is an excellent striker at any level, as evidenced by his 29 Serie A goals for Roma.
David de Gea
David de Gea has been linked with the likes of Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest for a potential fee of £0. De Gea remains a free agent as of January 2024, which may seem unusual for a goalkeeper of his caliber. Despite the lack of sparkle in his final season at Manchester United, the fact that he has been without a club for the past six months is somewhat surprising. Some Premier League clubs such as Newcastle could consider him as a goalkeeper option, especially given the problems the club have faced without their number one, Nick Pope, in recent weeks.
Seru Guirassi
Serou Guirassi is seen as a potential addition to the likes of Manchester United, West Ham United, Fulham and Wolves, with a possible fee of £15.2m. Guirassi will never commit until the 2023/24 season scored more than 11 goals in one season. However, this season he has surprised everyone, including his own club Stuttgart, by scoring 17 goals in 14 matches. Guirassi’s excellent performances have attracted attention and clubs such as Manchester United may be looking at him as a potential addition, especially given his relatively low contract release clause.
Calvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips is being eyed as a possible reinforcement for Newcastle United with a potential £5m loan fee. The player, who is Gareth Southgate’s favourite, has struggled for game time since joining Manchester City in 2022, making just 16 Premier League appearances. As a result, Phillips looks set to be sent out on loan in January and despite links to Juventus, St James’ Park appears to be the ideal location for his temporary stay.
Jean-Clair Todibo
Jean-Clair Todibo is linked with rumors that take him to Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur. The amount of compensation specified in the contract is 35 million pounds sterling. The 24-year-old France-captured centre-back has emerged as a key defensive player, conceding just nine goals and keeping 12 clean sheets this season. He is available for a relatively modest fee in January 2024, making him an attractive option for Manchester United in the context of the need for a long-term replacement for Raphael Varane.
Jeremy Frimpong
Jeremie Frimpong is being considered as a possible signing for Liverpool and Arsenal, with a potential fee of £34 million. It seems that Bayer Leverkusen may regret including a reasonable release clause in the contract. Thanks to this provision, Premier League clubs have the opportunity to sign a talented right-back at a low price. Frimpong has five goals and six assists this season. For Liverpool, who may be looking for support at right-back to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield, Frimpong represents a very interesting option.
