A bout of coronavirus and the emergence of Pedri doomed Miralem Pjanic's Barcelona career from the start, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/pjanic-koeman-divorcio-primera-vista-12045130" target="_blank">Sport</a>.&nbsp; The ex-Juventus midfielder was laid low with the virus shortly after arriving at Camp Nou, and as he struggled to regain sharpness he lost his place to the teenager.&nbsp; Pjanic's relationship with Ronald Koeman never recovered from that inauspicious beginning, and the pair barely spoke until he eventually left for Besiktas on loan.&nbsp;

Lionel Messi’s infamous burofax, which he sent to former Barcelona&nbsp;president&nbsp;Josep Maria Bartomeu&nbsp;last year in an attempt to engineer a move away from Camp Nou, has now been revealed. Messi expressed his desire to leave Barca shortly after their Champions League thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in August 2020 and believed there was a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave for free, despite having another year left on his deal. The Catalan side disputed the claim and Messi ultimately relented, though he would only stay for another year before moving to PSG. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/lionel-messis-burofax-to-ex-barcelona-president-bartomeu/5h9gfjam3j33176fnkjd4x7e0" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

AC Milan will not pursue a deal for Porto winger Jesus Corona in January despite making several attempts to sign him over the summer, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-decisione-presa-per-corona-in-vista-di-gennaio-quei-6-mili-79057" target="_blank">Calciomercato.</a> The Rossoneri worked on a deal for several weeks but would not increase their bid after having an initial €10 million (£8.5m/$12m) offer rejected.

Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui says Chelsea failed in their pursuit of Jules Kounde because they failed to meet the Liga outfit's&nbsp;valuation of the France defender. The European champions were keen to add Kounde to their squad before the deadline, but saw a late bid rebuffed by the Spanish side and did not return with another offer. Kounde missed last weekend’s La Liga draw at Elche and&nbsp;sparked speculation that&nbsp;a move was imminent, but he ultimately remained in Seville. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-didnt-offer-enough-for-kounde-says-sevilla-boss/1agqy9gqnfbn21w1eplh8tvc33" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Arsenal face losing Eddie&nbsp;Nketiah for nothing next summer after they failed to sell him during the summer window, reports the <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16053560/arsenal-nketiah-transfer-contract/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. The 22-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has yet to agree a new deal, meaning he could open talks with foreign clubs over a free transfer move in January. The Gunners had hoped to recoup around £20 million ($28m) for the forward over the summer and were ready to accept around £12m ($16.6m) by the end of the window, but a late move to Crystal Palace collapsed and there were no other takers.

Aston Villa are ready to make a move for Juventus midfielder Weston&nbsp;McKennie in January, according to the <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/16053703/aston-villa-weston-mckennie-transfer-juventus-janiuary/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. Juve made the 23-year-old available for transfer late in the window but could not find a buyer before the deadline. However, Villa remain interested in the midfielder and are ready to revive their interest when the window re-opens at the start of 2022.

Real Madrid face paying out the highest ever signing-on fee if they want to land Kylian Mbappe next summer, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2021/09/04/6133e631e2704ee6038b45cc.html" target="_blank">Marca.</a> After failing in their bid to sign the France striker this summer Los Blancos are hoping to complete a free transfer deal when his PSG contract expires at the end of the season. However, though no transfer fee will be owed to PSG, Real face shelling out around €80 million (£68m/$90m) in fees, commissions and bonuses.

The Turkish window remains open however and&nbsp;Basaksehir have made an offer to take James on loan, though it remains to be seen whether the 30-year-old would be interested in a move to Turkey.

Mohamed Elneny's move from Arsenal to&nbsp;Galatasaray collapsed because club president&nbsp;Burak Elmas personally vetoed the transfer, reports <a href="https://www.milliyet.com.tr/skorer/galeri/son-dakika-transfer-haberi-galatasarayda-baskan-burak-elmastan-yildiz-isme-veto-6589782/10" target="_blank">Milliyet.</a> Elneny, who has one year left on his Gunners contract, looked to be on the move last month when Galatasaray agreed a deal worth around €15 million (£13m/$18m). However,&nbsp;Elmas stepped in and cancelled the transfer because he felt the midfielder's wage demands were too high, with the club moving on to other targets.
