Tight budget? No worries, the best winter bargains for your club | OneFootball

Your team urgently needs reinforcements for the second half of the season, but the budget is too tight for a big deal? Fortunately, there are real transfer bargains in 2026.

With these professionals, your club could currently make a real steal.

Marc-André ter Stegen

Marc-André ter Stegen is currently available for a price like never before. The world-class goalkeeper is now only the third choice at Barcelona but urgently needs playing time to be Germany's goalkeeper at the 2026 World Cup.

According to the Spanish 'Mundo Deportivo', Barça is also willing to let the goalkeeper go on loan until the summer. Even better: In the hope that the keeper will then present himself for an expensive summer sale, Barcelona would probably continue to pay the majority of his salary during a loan. Can it get any better?

Memphis Depay

If your club needs an offensive player – maybe so. Memphis Depay is currently no longer on the big football stage. The Dutchman joined Corinthians São Paulo in September 2024.

The forward still has a contract with the Brazilians until the end of 2026. With a current market value of just eight million euros (source: 'Transfermarkt.de'), this already smells like a bargain.

Danilho Doekhi

Danilho Doekhi could also be a steal. The central defender is having a strong season in the jersey of Union Berlin, keeping the defense tight at the back and creating goal threats up front. In 15 season games, Doekhi has already scored four times for the Köpenickers. Unfortunately for Union.

The 27-year-old could leave for free in the summer of 2026. If FCU wants to make money with Doekhi, he would essentially need to be sold now. A good negotiating position for other clubs.

Jonas Wind

What's happening with Jonas Wind? Unfortunately, not much at the moment. After two strong seasons in the VfL Wolfsburg jersey, the Dane is currently looking back on a poor first half of the season. In eight season games, the striker hasn't scored a single goal, and since the end of November, he has also been struggling with a thigh injury.

The Wolves are likely very interested in a departure, as Wind's contract also expires in the summer of 2026.

Timo Werner

Just like Timo Werner's. The striker, who once scored 28 Bundesliga goals for Leipzig in the 2019/20 season, is currently at the absolute low point of his career.

After three short appearances in the current season, the Saxons are eager to get rid of him. Werner's market value is currently around three million euros. A small reminder: We're still talking about a 57-time national player who is only 29 years old.
