10 Players Who Can Sign For New Clubs From January 2022 in Europe Top Leagues.

As the January or winter transfer window is around two weeks away, teams and players are already looking forward to it. As teams look to bolster their squad roasters, so do players who also hope to secure new deals. The question now is, which players could club possibly sign from January 2022.

For some leagues such as the Premier League and Ligue 1, the window opens on January 1, some will open on January 2. Hence, for harmonization, we would use the January 2 date for the majority.

While almost all players would still be under contract, all players could secure new deals if the player, his current club and the club he intends to join all agree to the deal. But aside to this, there are other players who can sign for another club as soon as the window opens despite having a current contract at their current clubs.

This type of contract is called a pre-contract. Although the player who signs for a new cub in this manner do not join them immediately but does so for free when his current contract expires. How is this possible then?

According to a UEFA rule on transfer and contracts called Bosman ruling, a player can sign for another club if his current contract is less than 6 months to its expiration date and join such club for free when his contract expires later.

This means that for players whose contracts will end in June, there are about 6 months left for them to fulfill their current contract. As the majority are above 23, they can start negotiating with other clubs and even sign a pre-contract with such clubs.

At the moment, there are many players whose contracts will be in their final 6 months in January. As a result, they can begin to negotiate with other clubs and even sign for them.
