The January transfer market doesn't always deliver exciting moves, but this year, with Kolo Muani to Juventus and the duo of Gimenez-Joao Felix to Milan, it will be remembered as a market of big hits.

The Frenchman, who arrived from PSG, has had a superb impact with Thiago Motta's team, scoring 3 goals in 2 games, including a goal against Napoli and a brace that overturned Empoli. In a Juventus side struggling for goals, Kolo Muani has already shown he can make a big contribution.

On the other hand, Milan, who underwent a real revolution, seem to have already borne fruit in their game against Roma. Santiago Gimenez and Joao Felix came off the bench, with the former providing the assist and the latter scoring the goal for the final 3-1. Two more notable impacts, now continuity is needed as decisive matches of the season are approaching.

But what were the other transfers that had a big impact in Serie A in January? Let's take a look, as it's an interesting list and some may surprise you.

Salah to Fiorentina

In the final hours of the 2015 transfer window, Fiorentina brought Momo Salah from Chelsea to Italy, a young player with great skills who hadn't shown his talent in Chelsea. He arrived in Italy and started tearing up Serie A: at the end of the season, he scored 9 goals in the league, Europa League, and Coppa Italia, a great business card that convinced Roma to sign him in the summer.

Balotelli to Milan

Surprisingly, on January 31, 2013, Milan decided to make a big move, bringing Mario Balotelli back to Milan from Manchester City for €20 million. Super Mario arrived and started scoring: 12 goals in 13 league appearances, practically record numbers. A sensational impact.

Goran Pandev to Inter

An always underrated transfer, but when Inter signed Goran Pandev in January, in the middle of a season that would turn out to be historic, they made an intelligent move that helped Mourinho's team in their treble-winning campaign. He scored 3 goals and provided 6 assists in Serie A, plus some decisive performances in the Champions League.

Vlahovic to Juventus

The story between Juventus and Dusan Vlahovic may soon come to an end, but when the Serbian arrived in Turin in January 2022, he immediately started scoring, making the €80 million investment paid to Fiorentina seem like a wise decision. Vlahovic ended the season with 9 goals and 2 assists for Juventus, but in subsequent seasons, he hasn't lived up to expectations and his adventure in Turin seems to be coming to an end.

Ronaldo to Milan

A surprise move, in true Galliani style, but when Milan decided to bring Ronaldo the Phenomenon back to Italy, despite his career already being in decline, it sent half of Milan into a frenzy. Ronnie had a spectacular impact, with 7 goals in 14 league appearances, and even scored in the derby against his former team, Inter, despite them winning the league.

Piatek to Milan

The case of Krzysztof Piatek remains a mystery to this day, but his 13 goals in half a season - his first in Italy - with Genoa convinced Milan to invest €35 million in him in January. Piatek had a good impact, with 9 goals in 18 league appearances, but from the following season onwards, he lost his form and never regained the level he showed in his first months at Genoa and Milan.
