Why clubs failed to sign star players?

BBC Sport examined some star players who were very close to moving to the Premier League but whose contracts did not come to fruition. These players were ready to choose new teams and leave, but for various reasons, the deals ended unsuccessfully. Nevertheless, each missed contract could have a significant impact on the football world. During the intense transfer season, some players stayed with their teams, raising questions about how this will play a role in shaping their futures.
