#1 Leandro Paredes to PSG: €45 million
We will cap off this article with the most expensive signing of the winter transfer window: Leandro Paredes. The 24-year-old Ex-Roma man was signed from the Russian club, Zenit, by the French giants for a whopping 45 million euros amid their midfield crisis.
Paredes is an Argentinian midfielder who has been in an excellent form for the Russian club since last two years. Paredes' statistics like 53.5 passes per game, 2.1 key passes per game and 1.3 tackles per game show what a brilliant all-round midfielder he is. Meanwhile, PSG are in a huge midfield crisis with Marco Verratti with a long-term injury and Adrien Rabiot suspended for his actions which only leaves an attack-minded Julian Draxler as their and a makeshift Dani Alves in their midfield personnel.
As a result, the Parisians were linked with several midfielders like Idrissa Gueye of Everton, Abdoulaye Doucoure of Watford and so on. They finally succeeded in signing the young Argentinian. With the busy second half of the season started, the signing of Paredes is very important for PSG and their quest to win the Champions League.
To sum up, Paredes looks like a great signing for the French giants and will surely be a crucial player for Tuchel's men for the remainder of the season.
