After a busy Deadline Day for multiple clubs in the Bundesliga, the winter transfer period has officially concluded.
While a comprehensive list of confirmed Bundesliga transfers is available, below are ten noteworthy deals that stood out on Deadline Day.
Top 10 Deadline Day Transfers in Bundesliga – Winter 2026
Brajan Gruda (from Brighton to RB Leipzig, loan)
The ex-Mainz winger recently gained attention after expressing his desire to play for a top club, mentioning names like Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Liverpool. However, Gruda’s move on Deadline Day was to RB Leipzig, where he has inherited the No. 10 shirt. With Assan Ouedraogo sidelined for a long duration, Leipzig hopes this German U21 international can enhance their attacking creativity.
Ayodele Thomas (from PSV to RB Leipzig, €400k)
Leipzig also brought in 18-year-old Dutch winger Ayodele Thomas on the final day of the transfer window. A Netherlands U19 international, Thomas had a stellar run with PSV’s youth teams but did not make an appearance for the senior side. He aims to establish himself in the Bundesliga, following the trend of successful young wingers at Leipzig.
Jeanuel Belocian (from Bayer Leverkusen to Wolfsburg, loan)
Acquired for €15 million from Rennes in 2024, Belocian’s last season was marred by a cruciate ligament injury. Now fit again, the 20-year-old French player has found it difficult to get playing time at Leverkusen and will be hoping to secure a more regular position at Wolfsburg. His versatility as a left-back and central defender adds significant defensive options for Die Wölfe.
Bryan Zaragoza (from FC Bayern to AS Roma, loan)
It hasn’t gone as planned for Zaragoza at Bayern since he transferred from Granada in the winter of 2024. Now, he heads to AS Roma on his third loan after playing regularly for Celta Vigo earlier in the season. The winger aims to re-establish his reputation in Serie A, with the agreement including a potential purchase contingent upon performance metrics.
Jonas Adjetey (from Basel to Wolfsburg, €9.5m)
In addition to Belocian, Wolfsburg reinforced their defense by acquiring Ghanaian center-back Jonas Adjetey for around €9.5 million. The 22-year-old has been a standout player for Basel, combining strength, physicality, and speed.
Hugo Bolin (from Malmö to Gladbach, loan)
To enhance their attacking options, Gladbach added Swedish winger Hugo Bolin, who has a reported €2 million purchase obligation. The 22-year-old has made two appearances for the Swedish national team.
Luca Netz (from Gladbach to Nottingham Forest, €2.5m)
With only six months left on his contract, Gladbach opted to sell left-back Luca Netz to Nottingham Forest after the English club showed interest. The former Hertha player has struggled for match time and will pursue a fresh start in England.
Sheraldo Becker (from Osasuna to Mainz, loan)
After losing Benedict Hollerbach for the season, Mainz signed Sheraldo Becker as a replacement on Deadline Day. Becker, familiar to Bundesliga audiences, had a successful spell at Union Berlin before departing in 2024 and now reunites with coach Urs Fischer at Mainz.
Uchenna Ogundu (from Alanyaspor to Augsburg, €4.5m)
Augsburg bolstered their attack by bringing in 19-year-old Nigerian forward Uchenna Ogundu on Deadline Day. Able to play various offensive roles, Ogundu netted three goals in 20 matches for Alanyaspor and will add crucial attacking options for Die Fuggerstädter.
Felipe Chavez (from FC Bayern to FC Köln, loan)
After making his first senior appearances for Bayern, Chavez has moved to Köln on loan with a buy option that includes a buyback clause for Bayern. A promising attacking midfielder, Chavez debuted for the Peruvian senior national team at just 18 years old.
