Covid-19 y la posibilidad de que el amor sea solo pasajero hacen que un video tipo Tinder quizás no sea la mejor forma de presentar un nuevo refuerzo. Pero cuando uno se enamora, se enamora y ya vendrá el futuro. Y es así, probablemente, como también se sienten los fanáticos del FC Cincinnati luego de que el club anunciara oficialmente la contratación del brasileño Brenner.
The first day of February was the closing day of the transfer window in Europe. Due to the worldwide pandemic of the coronavirus that strongly affects the economy of the clubs, the market was more austere than other years. Among many stories produced, one revolves around the outstanding soccer players who finished their contracts with their clubs and did not sign again, remaining free agents.
The18 has compiled a list of who they are and what their respective situations are with a view to a 2021 that is already underway.
According to Transfermarkt, 11,148 transfers were officially made between January 1 and February 1, with the transfer fees totalling a little over $600 million.
While significantly less than the 18,488 transfers worth $1.6 billion that occurred last January, it's still a lot to take in.
But we've made it easy for you.
Here's The18's five-minute guide to the most important transfers of this year's winter window:

Portuguese coach André Villas-Boas announced that he has resigned as coach of Olympique de Marseille because he disagrees with the club's sporting policy, although he said he will remain in charge of the team "until the management board lets him go."
