The major signings in the January transfer window

Manchester City easily topped the spending charts in the January transfer window with the signing of Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez on Deadline Day to complete a busy month for the ailing Premier League champions.

City's spending of more than 180 million pounds ($223.58 million) was the second-biggest outlay ever worldwide by a club in the January transfer window behind Chelsea's 274 million pounds in 2023, according to Transfermarkt.

City paid Porto 60 million euros ($62.06 million) for 23-year-old Gonzalez -- their fourth major signing in the window.

Elsewhere in Europe it was a quiet month of trading although Paris St Germain did buy exciting Georgia winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli for 70 million euros ($72.25 million)and handed him the number seven shirt vacated by Kylian Mbappe.

Neymar returned to his childhood club Santos after parting ways with Al-Hilal by mutual consent, after a disappointing spell at the Saudi Pro League champions for Brazil's all-time top scorer.
