After closing the player transfer window, messages continue to spread about deals that could have shaken the football world, but for one reason or another did not happen.
The "Man City" club, who had their eye on coach Josep Guardiola, dreamed of snatching "Barcelona" club leader Lionel Messi and held discussions with the Argentine's representatives.
The "Cityzens" also tempted the Catalan club's striker Neymar, and in total, negotiations took place three times.
Finally, the current leaders of the Premier League threw in the towel and had to postpone plans to buy world-renowned stars for the future.
In the new La Liga season, L.Messi has scored 2 goals, while Neymar has yet to make his mark.
