It is called the “repair market” because it is precisely for repair: so let’s see how the teams struggling to save themselves are settling in

The January market is a crucial time for teams fighting for salvation, and as the name implies, it is about “fixing” what is not working. For those in danger of relegation, any purchase can be crucial, especially if it brings with it the right mix of quality and experience. Here are the 7 strikes that could really change the fate of the fight to stay in Serie A.
Oumar Solet all’Udinese
Udinese struck early in the season with a key addition: Oumar Solet. The defender, released by Salzburg, immediately changed the face of the team. With him on the field, the Friulian rearguard has become more solid, and the entire team has gained in confidence and organization. If Udinese wants to stay out of the red zone, this was a key purchase.
Jacob Ondrejka al Parma
Parma has pulled off a major coup with the purchase of Swede Ondrejka, paid a whopping €7 million at Antwerp. A purchase that brings quality and versatility: the outfielder can occupy all areas of the three-quarter and has already proven his worth with 7 goals and 5 assists in 22 appearances. Ondrejka may want to say goodbye Man, but for the moment they are both still in Parma. If he can express his full potential, he can really make a difference for Pecchia’s team.
Elia Caprile al Cagliari
Cagliari had a clear problem: the goalkeeper. Scuffet no longer gave guarantees, and Sherri did not have the impact they hoped for. Thus, the Sardinian club set its sights on Caprile, a loyalist of Davide Nicola who had already coached him at Empoli. Arriving from the swap with Napoli, the goalkeeper has already made a difference in just three games, showing a solidity that had been missing for some time. His contribution will be crucial in the race for salvation.
Diao, Butez e Caqueret al Como
At times it seems almost absurd to think of a team like Como, among the most “spendthrift” teams in the world this winter, involved in the fight for salvation, but with these three market blows, Cesc Fabregas’ team has all the cards in order to rise in the standings.

Diao, Butez and Caqueret bring quality in the middle of the field, solidity in defense and freshness. With these grafts, Como could make an important leap, but now the ball is in the team’s court, which must prove it deserves salvation.
Zerbin al Venezia
Having arrived from Napoli, Zerbin represents the classic “Nicolussi Caviglia-style shot,” or rather the purchase from a big that, in a provincial team, can find the space to explode. The outfielder, capable of covering the entire flank, is perfect for the 3-man defense experiments that Di Francesco is increasingly making. If Venezia can exploit him in the right way, he could prove to be the extra weapon for salvation.
And then it’s nice to dream a little bit with two big hits that would definitely be disproportionate to the salvation struggle but could really change the face of their teams:
Jovic al Monza
The negotiation for Jovic at Monza is still far from finalized, but if it goes through, it would be a quality coup that could turn the fortunes of the Brianza team around.

The Serbian striker, fresh off a successful season at AC Milan, has suffered an injury this year that has slowed his rise, but his level is beyond question. If Galliani can bring him to Monza, Jovic could really make a difference.
Soulé al Genoa
At Roma, Soulé never managed to express his full talent, and he may need a new experience to relaunch himself. Genoa, with Vieira at the helm, could be the right square for the young Argentine, who could find his ideal habitat to return to playing consistently. Should the transfer go through, Soulé could be the game-changer in Genoa’s salvation struggle, especially on a dry loan.
