Our boys out on loan had yet another successful weekend, with several top performances. On top of that, the January transfer window is now closed and there has been some movement regarding our loanees. Let’s dive into the details of the last seven days!
The winter transfer window saw a few last minute deals concerning some of our loanees. Gabriel Brazão, previously out on loan at Ternana, has left Inter on a free transfer to Santos in his native country Brazil. Nikolaos Botis also left the Nerazzurri, moving to Olympiacos in his home country Greece. We wish the two goalkeepers all the best!

Alessandro Silvestro also ended his season-long loan at Fiorenzuola early, as he joined Foggia (Serie C), also until the end of the season. Furthermore, Andrei Radu was set to move to Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia as reported last week, however the goalkeeper was unable to get a work permit before the closing of the transfer window and will therefore remain at Bournemouth.
