7 UNBELIEVABLE Transfers That Almost Happened

From Pep Guardiola nearly bringing Andrea Pirlo to Barcelona, to Hull City coming close to signing Mohamed Salah, HITC Sevens takes a look at some fairly significant transfers that never quite got across the line from the world of football.

As a St Mirren fan, I can't believe we almost signed Ronaldinho, he's nowhere near good enough for us

Dortmund wanted to sign Ronaldinho, but he decided that Dortmund was too big of a club for him at the time. But the probably most influential transfer that almost, but didn't happen is Gerd Müllers almost move to 1860 Munich. One could only imagine who the Bundesliga would look nowadays if he hadn't joined FC Bayern

[@pedrado1]

Ronaldinho was also close to sign for a portuguese club (Estrela da Amadora) before he joined PSG, he actually did some training for that club but they thought that he wasn't good enough. Nowadays Ronaldinho is considered one of the best footballers of all time and that club is extinct

[@hugoumero9723]

What you are serious i thought st miren was gonna to loan him

[@scottwhitley3392]

Although Ronaldhino to St mirren sounds mental today, during that time a few Scottish clubs made pretty remarkable transfers, including Claudio Canigia to Dundee, Frank Suazee to Hibs, and both Rangers and Celtic has top class teams back then

[@dannyplatt6161]

A couple of seasons before David de gea joined man united I seem to remember that Wigan athletic agree a £8m deal with atlectico Madrid for him but the deal fall through when Madrid decided that de gea was to important for them to leave for such a small fee and I could of see pirlo definitely playing for Barcelona

You should do a series of Best 11s of players with the same number. So make a team of 1s, 2s, 3s etc. it’ll be interesting to see what you come up with for out of place numbers (striker wearing the number 1 for example).

R9 to Stuttgart would've also been a good choice. As far as i know he almost signed but ultimately the 5 mil transfer fee was too much for them for such a young player. Therefore they rather signed Giovanne Elber, which wasn't a bad choice either, and Ronaldo moved to PSV.
