Serie A January Transfer Window 2021: Live Updates

Italian football is on its way back to its good old days, and the Serie A has made significant progress in recent years. Signs of this progress include the presence of big stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Romulo Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimović in Italian teams. 

After Italian football clubs fell sharply and fell behind other European leagues, the Italian government has recently drastically reduced its players' income tax to make up for the lag from other leagues, while in prestigious European leagues the tax is around 50%. Player salaries in Italy have dropped to around 30, making Italian teams much more financially capable of attracting stars than ever before.

The bad news for Serie A clubs is that the 50% tax deduction law on the salaries of non-Italian players on Italian teams will no longer apply, and the Italian government can enforce the old law if necessary. A return to the tax code could be costly for Italian teams as they have to pay more to attract high-paying non-Italian players and generally may not be able to pay as much as they did in recent years.

Sami Khedira Update

The former German international has joined Hertha Berlin after a five-year contract with Juventus. It’s been over 14 months since Sami Khedira last appeared in a game for Juventus. It’s been even longer since Khedira, once considered a key player in Juventus’ starting lineup that advanced to the second of two Champions League finals in the span of three years, was the player that first showed up in Turin.

Juventus announced that Khedira has terminated his contract, one that was set to expire at the end of the 2020-21 season, and it was by mutual consent so he can join Hertha Berlin on a free transfer after taking a medical with the club over the weekend. According to Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio and German Kicker, Khedira has agreed to a contract with Hertha until 2023.

Currently, the Hertha from Germany’s capital city are 15th in the table and are trying to avoid relegating from Bundesliga. By adding Sami Khedira, they will solidify a midfield that has largely underperformed so far this season and has a lot of experience from Serie A. "I feel physically very good and I want to help the team and Hertha to be successful on a sporting level by using my experience," Khedira said in a statement.

Joshua Zirkzee

From the first days of the January transfer window, there’s been a lot of rumuors about

. At first, he was set to replace

in

. 19-year-old Dutch striker from Bayern Munich, who does not get a chance to play in this team, had been working on an agreement with Parma.

On the last day of the transfer window, through a statement on their official website, Italian Serie A club Parma have confirmed the capture of Dutch-Nigerian striker Joshua Zirkzee. Parma indicated there is an option to buy, but there was no specific cost listed. It is expected that the specific purchase cost at the end of the loan agreement between the clubs could be worth €15 million. The deal itself is not exactly what Bayern Munich wanted. Finally, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano squeeze out even more of the finer details, including Bayern Munich reportedly set to receive 7.5% of any future sale of Zirkzee.

The 19-year-old has registered 4 goals in seventeen first team appearances for the Bavarians, of which four were starts. Everton had considered the possibility of signing Zirkzee before Parma won the race for his signature. The dutchman has a better chance to play at Parma, which is currently 19th in the Serie A table.

Bryan Reynolds Update

American defender Bryan Reynolds has made a big move to European football, joining big Italian club AS Roma in Serie A. The 19-year-old right back after completing his first full season in Major League Soccer is taking his career to the next level in Rome.

Reynolds is FC Dallas’ youngest ever signing. He joined FC Dallas in 2016 and now he becomes the second U.S. player to play for Roma. Juventus was also interested in Reynolds but the young defender joined following in the footsteps of long time United States national team captain Michael Bradley. Juventus had a good transfer in the summer window and signed the 2020 U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year Weston McKennie. McKennie is also an FC Dallas academy product, he has reached a crucial role in Juventus.

Viktor Kovalenko

Atalanta officially confirmed signing Ukrainian talent

. Viktor Kovalenko came through

's academy and made his way to the senior team. The 25 years old midfielder had 130 Ukrainian Premier League appearances in Shakhtar Donetsk and scored 23 goals.

Leaving the Ukrainian league could be a great opportunity for Kovalenko to be a star outside his country. Despite his estimated worth is high Atalanta signed him for less than a million euros. Kovalenko had less than six months contract length remaining with Shakhtar. He is now on a four and a half year contract with the Bergamo club. Gasperini has another Ukrainian player in his squad. Ruslan Malinovskiy was also transferred from Shakhtar.

Daniele Rugani

In the summer transfer window, 

left Juventus to have more playing time in

, but eventually, he only had one appearance for the French team. This situation was an exit sign for the 26 years old Italian defender. Despite the efforts of Torino, it was Cagliari that sealed the deal.

Cagliari is struggling at the relegation zone and it is going to be a good challenge for Rugani. It could be a good experience for him to play side by side

in the defense. The loan deal expires at the end of the season and he may return to Juventus. Rugani draws attention through his time at Empoli, but he spent his youth team career at Juventus by joining the them in 2013.
