Today, at 00:00:00 on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, one of the rarest transfer markets in the history of football closed. In addition to being conditioned, due to the crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed. Thus, There have been few movements by great figures and the most important clubs on the European scene. However, something that will never miss the transfer window is the one of the most random signings. Here is an XI with the most prominent by position (two of them will play in the Spanish 3rd Division and another in Second B):
Marcin Bulka (Cartagena)
The Polish goalkeeper arrives on loan to Cartagena, recently promoted to LaLiga Smartbank, from PSG. And it is that Marcin Bulka, international with the lower categories of Poland, is one of the great jewels of the country under sticks. So great are the hopes placed on him that already Chelsea tied him up five years ago. After developing in the quarry of the ‘blue’ team, in 2019, after finishing his contract, he signed for the Parisian team. However, the strong competition in the goal, with figures like Keylor Navas or Sergio Rico, deprived him of enjoying minutes (he only played one game). For this reason, he has looked for a way out in order to recover sensations and not slow down his progression. Of course, before arriving at ‘Efesé’ he came to play a match in Ligue 1 20/21.
Adriano Correia (KAS Eupen)
The veteran Brazilian full-back continues to give the last blows to his football career. And it is that, after an express return to his native country by the hand of Athletico Paranaense, where he has played 14 games, has signed for Belgian KAS Eupen. Precisely, a team that is trained by the Spanish Beñat San José, in addition to having Jordi Amat and Víctor Vázquez in its ranks. Adriano, two-time Champions League champion, has already become a fixture, playing five duels in the Jupiler Pro League, after passing through Coritiba, Sevilla, Barcelona and Besiktas.
'Cata Díaz' (URJC Móstoles)
The trajectory of the mythical ‘Cata’ Díaz continues to surprise locals and strangers. At 41 years of age, the Argentine central defender has signed for URJC Móstoles of the Spanish 3rd division. Therefore, after his previous experiences with Getafe (twice) and Fuenlabrada, he collected another one in the south of Madrid with his arrival in Móstoles. The Argentine central, champion of a Europa League and a Copa del Rey with Atlético de Madrid, he has been international with Argentina up to 12 times.
CD MÓSTOLES
Adil Rami (Boavista)
Another known by LaLiga could not miss in the XI. Adil Rami, 35-year-old French central defender, and brand new World Champion with France, has signed this market for the Portuguese Boavista. However, a story that has crumbs. And it is that, tAfter ending his contract with Russian Sochi, he practically had an agreement with the Italian Reggina, recently promoted to Serie B (2nd division). However, he left the president “hanging” to reverse the operation and join the Portuguese club. It is worth remembering his time at Valencia, Milan, Seville, with whom he won a Europa League, Marseille or Fenerbahce.
Jonathan Biabiany (San Fernando)
The French footballer's career is another clear example of a “broken toy”. He broke into Italian football with Parma, despite being owned by Inter. That good level allowed him to have opportunities in the ‘Nerazzurri’ team, which he did not know how to take advantage of, which led him first to Sampdoria and then back to Parma. In an exercise of football “resurrection”, Inter returned to sign him, to, once again, fail in the attempt. Then went to Sparta Prague, a brief third experience with Parma after his return to Serie A and, finally, at Trapani in Italian Serie B which ended up descending. Now his 32 years the World Champion with Inter (and scorer in the final), signs for San Fernando of the Spanish 2nd Division B where he will try to find football happiness.
Lucas Biglia (Fatih Karagümrük)
The signing of Lucas Biglia by Fatih Karagümrük is not far behind either (he has already played three games and is even the captain). The 34-year-old veteran pivot ended his contract with Milan after a somewhat bittersweet experience, where he ended up losing his place in favor of Ismaël Bennacer, to enlist in a most exotic experience. The club from Fatih, a district of the city of Istanbul, has returned to the Turkish Super League after 41 years of absence. One more step for the international with the ‘albiceleste’ after Independiente, Anderlecht, Lazio and the aforementioned Milan.
Kevin Prince Boateng (Monza)
In this XI the figures of ‘Calcio Random’ could not be absent. Italy, and its lower categories, are the most attractive when it comes to carrying out this type of transfer. In this case, Kevin-Prince Boateng has gone from playing at Barcelona to Monza, in Serie B, in just two years. His signing for Fiorentina did not work, so much so that they sent him to Besiktas on loan. However, on his return to Florence, without a place, he has returned to pack his bags to sign for a most peculiar club. Monza is owned by the famous Silvio Berlusconi, in addition to Adriano Galliani as CEO of the club. Both, with their famous Milanese past, convinced Boateng to help them move up the team to Serie A (they returned to the second Italian category this same previous year). Even Galliani himself claimed to “seduce” the Ghanaian through love songs.
Jérémy Ménez (Reggina)
Another one of Calcium is the case of Jérémy Ménez and La Reggina. Yes, the same team in which he was very close to sharing a dressing room with his compatriot Adil Rami. For his part, Ménez accepted the proposal after his short adventure in Paris FC, the other team in the Parisian city that lives in the shadow of PSG (where he spent three seasons). All this after two years at the Mexican Club América. He lands in the Calabria box, also returned to Series B, and which also has other well-known figures: Germán ‘The Tank’ Denís, ex of the Naples, Atalanta or Udinese; Kyle lafferty, Northern Irish international with 20 goals and 75 games; or the famous Hachim Mastour, the “broken toy” of YouTube and how famous he became in that 'freestyle' video with Neymar.
Salomon Kalou (Botafogo)
One Champions League, one Premier League, four FA Cups or one African Cup. That is the record of Salomon Kalou, Ivorian footballer who has signed for Botafogo in Brazil. He has done so after ending his contract with Hertha Berlin after five seasons at the German club. Unforgettable his time at Chelsea, which without being a great name, won a good handful of titles, where he arrived thanks to his explosion at Feyenoord.
BOTAFOGO
Vágner Love (Kairat Almaty)
One of the most loved players by all FIFA fans. His acceleration and speed, in addition to his mythical braids (red, blue …) and his figures in CSKA Moscow, made him one of the most charismatic strikers. After his return to Brazil with Corinthians, returns to Europe to add an experience as random as possible: sign for Kairat Almaty from Kazakhstan. And, so far, things have not gone bad. Seven goals and four assists in his first ten games. Of course, he was eliminated in the previous round of the Europa League. Russia, Brazil, China, France, Turkey and now Kazakh football.
Mathías Pogba (Racing Murcia)
One of Paul Pogba's brothers, in this case Mathías, continues his tour of Spain. The Guinean international forward has now signed for Racing Murcia in the Spanish 3rd division. It should be remembered that He has already tried his fortune in Manchego Ciudad Real or Lorca. However, his arrival is most special. He is trained by the legendary David Vidal, in addition to the fact that the Murcian club has Edwin Congo, the former Real Madrid, as an international representative and carries out scouting work.
