Following the conclusion of the transfer window for most of Europe's top leagues, we run through the transfers you might have missed this month.

Matteo Guendouzi - Lazio to Fenerbahce (€30m)

The ex-Arsenal midfielder has transferred to Turkey in a club-record deal for Fenerbahce. Domenico Tedesco's side have invested a fee that could reach €30m for Guendouzi, as the Istanbul outfit look to strengthen their squad and catch Galatasaray in the Turkish Süper Lig title race.

The Frenchman has made an impressive start, including a man-of-the-match performance in the club's Super Cup win over Galatasaray on January 10th.

Kenneth Taylor - Ajax to Lazio (€15m)

Replacing Guendouzi in Rome is Kenneth Taylor, with Lazio spending €15m to sign the Dutch international from Ajax.

That fee looks good value for theSerie A side, with Taylor named as Ajax's Player of the Season in 2024-25 after scoring 15 goals from midfield.

Quinten Timber - Feyenoord to Marseille (€4.5m)

Another Eredivisie exit, Quinten Timber has swapped Feyenoord for France. The midfielder, who is the twin brother ofArsenal defender Jurrien, was approaching the exit of his contract in Rotterdam and Marseile have swooped early to sign the Dutchman in a cut-price deal.

Brajan Gruda - Brighton to RB Leipzig (Loan)

The German winger heads back to theBundesliga on loan until the end of the campaign. Gruda has shown flashes of his talent in the Premier League, but the presence of Yankuba Minteh at Brighton has restricted his minutes.

He's started just eight league games this season and will hope for increased involvement in Leipzig.

Giacomo Raspadori - Atletico Madrid to Atalanta (€26m)

Atletico Madrid have cut their losses on Giacomo Raspadori after just six months in Spain. The Italian joined from Napoli last summer but failed to make an impact, starting just oneLa Liga fixture and failing to score.

Atletico have recouped their €26m investment with Raspadori turning down Roma in favour of Atalanta. He's made a bright start, scoring on his home debut.

Noa Lang - Napoli to Galatasaray (Loan)

Another short-lived stint, Noa Lang has left Napoli just six months after signing from PSV Eindhoven for a €25m fee.

The Netherlands international has headed to Galatasaray on loan with a non-mandatory purchase option. He joins the Turkish champions in their bid to defend the Süper Lig title and make inroads in the Champions League's knockout phase.

Joao Cancelo - Al-Hilal to Barcelona (Loan)

Joao Cancelo's Saudi stint has come to an end with the full-back returning toBarcelona.

The Portugal international made 42 appearances forBarcelona during a previous loan spell in Spain during the 2023-24 campaign. He's joined on another temporary deal from Al-Hilal.
