Atlético de Madrid was the most active among the big Spanish clubs at the end of the winter market. On the last day of frenetic activity in the offices, the mattress club made official the signing of Irish right-back Matt Doherty, from English Tottenham, and also the departure of Brazilian central defender Felipe, heading to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The new rojiblanco player arrives at the Metropolitano free, and signs until the end of the season after playing 16 games this season with the Spurs in all competitions. This is a market opportunity that will offer competition to the Argentine Nahuel Molina in the right-hand lane and therefore will free Marcos Llorente to act in more offensive positions, where the man from Madrid has offered the most performance as a rojiblanco.

Meanwhile, at Barça, in the absence of a departure from the Camp Nou offices, the departure of right-back Héctor Bellerín was unblocked, a summer signing after his good role at Betis, to Sporting de Portugal. Finally, at Real Madrid, as expected, the winter transfer window closed without any movement, with a day of complete tranquility in the offices of Concha Espina.

The most important exit move was going to be the transfer of Pathé Ciss, from Rayo Vallecano, to French Olympique de Lyon, which offered a fixed six million euros for the Senegalese midfielder plus another two possible in variable concepts, in an operation that was finally frustrated, like the signing of Isco, free after terminating his contract with Sevilla, by the German Berlin Union.

In terms of incorporations, very little investment, the sign of the League in this market, with the signing of midfielder José Gragera by Espanyol, the most generous club in this market and which pays Sporting de Gijón 2.8 million for 70 % of rights over the Asturian player.

The majority of arrivals to the League in the last hours go through operations at zero cost. Thus, through the transfer formula, the arrivals of Bryan Gil and Pape Gueye to Sevilla were closed, the first to return home from Tottenham and the second from Olympique de Marseille, from Haris Seferovic from Benfica to Celta de Vigo, from Ayoze Pérez from Leicester City to Betis, Cameroonian midfielder Martin Hongla from Italian Hellas Verona to Valladolid and Sergi Guardiola and Jorge Meré to Cádiz, both on loan from Valladolid and América from Mexico.
