The year 2018 is the year of the World Cup. January 2018 transfer window will feel different. Every player, who feels less get minutes playing will have more motivation to leave. And, perhaps, for all players, playing in the World Cup is the prestige being pursued. So, competition into the national team is a matter of how often a football player to play.

A new player can legitimately join the new team on January 1, 2018. However, the process and their efforts to find a new club have started long ago. In fact, there is already a player agent who seeks his client to get the new club certainty since the end of October.

Transfer negotiation is not a one or two-day job done. The process of bargaining, and seeking certainty takes a long time.

There are already some names who are rumored to be looking for a new club for the World Cup. In fact, for the sake of playing in the most glamorous competition in the world, these players are willing to defend the club with a "lower" status than the club they defended at this time.

Olivier Giroud

Ever since the arrival of Alexandre Lacazette, Giroud's name has slowly disappeared from Arsenal's main team. The 31-year-old attacker routinely became Arsenal's reserve player. Giroud just gets a chance to play as a substitute or limited in the Europa League or Carabao Cup only.

Guy Stephans, assistant to Didier Deschamps, asserted that Giroud had to leave for the game minute. If Giroud still does not get the ideal playing minutes, his name can be thrown from the main team. Understandably, the French front line is filled with potential names, where they enjoy the privilege of playing minutes with their respective first team.

Marouane Fellaini

Marouane Fellaini and Jose Mourinho's relationship is enigmatic. On one occasion, Fellaini could be the top choice. At other times, the Belgian player becomes a prisoner. As a result, the playing minutes become erratic, unlike when Manchester United was still trained by Louis van Gaal.

The arrival of Paul Pogba, followed by Nemanja Matic later in the season, became bad news for Fellaini. Leaving in January is a real step for Fellaini to secure his chances of playing at the World Cup. Seeing his ability, of course, many clubs in England are ready to sign him.
