5 hyped football transfers that never happened
By Aman Shukla Published on July 4, 2025, 20:20 IST The transfer window in football is like a soap opera—full of drama, wild rumors, and moments that make you scream, 'How did that not happen?!' Fans get hyped, jerseys are mocked up, and then… nothing. Some of the biggest names in the game have been at the center of these almost-deals that leave us dreaming of what could've been. From Nico Williams' recent Barcelona heartbreak to a legend nearly joining a small English club, here are five transfers that got the world talking but never crossed the finish line. 1. Nico Williams to Barcelona (2025) Oh, man, the Nico Williams saga this summer had us all glued to our phones. The 22-year-old Athletic Bilbao winger was the guy everyone wanted after he lit up Euro 2024 with Spain. Barcelona fans were already picturing him tearing down the wing with Lamine Yamal, his buddy from the national team. Word was, Barca had his signature all but locked in—personal terms agreed, €58 million release clause ready to be paid. It felt like a done deal, with some even calling it '150% certain.' But then, classic Barcelona: their money troubles reared up. La Liga's salary cap rules threw a wrench in the plans, and some last-minute demands from Williams' agent didn't help. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich were circling, but Nico stayed put in Bilbao, saying he's happy there. Honestly, it's a gut-punch for Barca fans who were ready to see him light up the Camp Nou. 2. Zinedine Zidane to Blackburn Rovers (1995) This one's straight out of a fever dream. Picture Zinedine Zidane, the guy who'd become a football god, signing for Blackburn Rovers. Yep, Blackburn . Back in '95, fresh off their Premier League title, Rovers were sniffing around for talent. Their scouts spotted a young Zizou at Bordeaux, and the assistant coach was begging the club to snap him up. But the chairman, Jack Walker, dropped the most legendary line in transfer history: 'Why sign Zidane when we've got Tim Sherwood?' Oof. Blackburn passed, and Zidane went on to dazzle at Juventus and Real Madrid, winning everything from World Cups to Ballon d'Ors. Rovers fans still wince thinking about what might've been if their club had taken the leap. 3. Alfredo Di Stefano to Barcelona (1953) This story is wild, even by today's standards. Alfredo Di Stefano, the guy who'd make Real Madrid untouchable, was this close to signing for Barcelona. The Catalans had a deal with River Plate, who owned his rights, and thought they'd bagged the Argentine superstar. But Real Madrid, not ones to miss out, struck their own deal with Millonarios, where Di Stefano was playing in Colombia. It turned into a proper mess, with both clubs claiming him. Then, get this: the Spanish authorities, with a nudge from Franco's regime, suggested Di Stefano split time between the two clubs, playing a season for each. Barcelona said, 'Nah, we're out,' and Real swooped in. Di Stefano became the heart of Madrid's five straight European Cups. Barca fans still talk about this one as the ultimate 'what if' that changed their rivalry forever. 4. Rivaldo to Bolton Wanderers (2004) Okay, imagine Rivaldo, the 1999 Ballon d'Or winner, strutting his stuff at Bolton Wanderers. Sounds bonkers, right? But in 2004, it nearly happened. Bolton, managed by the larger-than-life Sam Allardyce, were punching above their weight in the Premier League with players like Jay-Jay Okocha. They set their sights on Rivaldo, who'd just left Barcelona and had a brief stint at AC Milan. The Brazilian legend was genuinely up for it, charmed by Allardyce's vision of leading Bolton to Europe. Talks got serious, and Rivaldo was hyping up the move. Then, poof—it fell apart, and no one's quite sure why. Maybe it was money, maybe cold feet. Either way, the idea of Rivaldo in a Bolton kit is one of football's craziest near-misses. 5. Steven Gerrard to Chelsea (2005) Stevie G in a Chelsea shirt? It's the stuff of nightmares for Liverpool fans. Back in 2005, after Liverpool's epic Champions League comeback in Istanbul, Steven Gerrard was the hottest property in football. But he was frustrated with contract talks at Anfield, and Chelsea, flush with cash and Jose Mourinho's swagger, came calling. Gerrard admitted he was tempted—Chelsea were building an empire, and the idea of winning titles with them was hard to ignore. The rumor mill went into overdrive, and for a moment, it looked like he might actually go. In the end, his love for Liverpool and the Kop's adoration kept him home. He stayed a one-club legend, but imagine the chaos if he'd ended up at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea, Aston Villa handed UEFA fines, spending restrictions for breaching financial rules
Chelsea and Aston Villa have been fined €31million and €11m respectively after breaching UEFA's financial rules. The Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) announced on Friday a series of disciplinary measures for clubs under monitoring for the 2024-25 season. The unconditional figures are split into a fine for breaking the governing body's football earnings rule (Chelsea €20m and Villa €5m) and another for being in breach of their squad cost rule (€11m and €6m). Advertisement The total fines for each club come to €91m and €26m, with the added conditional fine being part of a settlement agreement with UEFA that covers a four-year period for Chelsea and a three-year period for Villa. Chelsea and Villa were found to have a squad cost ratio above 80 per cent for 2024 and were awarded fines proportionate to the size of the excess. Both clubs will also limited in what they can spend with players on UEFA's List A for club competitions having to hold a positive transfer balance, i.e. the cost of players added must not exceed those being removed. Elsewhere, Barcelona were handed €15m in unconditional fines while Olympique Lyonnais (€12.5m), Besiktas (€900,000) Panathinaikos (€400,000) and Hajduk Split (€300,000) have also been sanctioned. Both Chelsea and Villa sold their women's teams to their respective parent holding companies – Chelsea to Blueco in May and Villa to V Sports at the end of June – in order to generate income and prevent losses that would have them breach the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). Unlike the Premier League, however, UEFA does not allow for the sale of tangible assets to sister or parent companies to count towards their Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. The Athletic reported in July that senior figures describe UEFA's squad cost rules as the most serious challenge that faces Villa, with compliance a difficult task. Aston Villa sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to do so publicly, feel comfortable in their abilities to perform on a domestic and European front despite the sanctions. The Athletic has approached Chelsea for comment although club sources in April, also speaking anonymously, noted that co-owners Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly were relaxed about their position. Advertisement In September 2022, UEFA charged eight clubs with failing to comply with FFP rules, including Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, who were sanctioned with a €10m fine after failing to stay within spending limits. At the same time PSG were hit with a financial sanction, the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) First Chamber, an independent panel within UEFA tasked with policing FFP, announced that Chelsea, along with multiple clubs competing in Europe in 2021-22, were going to be 'monitored closely'.
