10 Chelsea Transfers That Definitely Won’t Happen

1. Neymar

Neymar Neymar's 43 goals from 47 appearances for Brazilian side Santos in 2012 has made him the number one transfer target for a number of the world's greatest clubs, such as Barcelona. Chelsea are also said to be big admirers of the goal machine, who, in spite of his phenomenal goal scoring record last season is only 20. Twenty. They came close to signing the forward in 2011, and are still being linked with a move, but could be set to lose out to Barcelona after Catalan defender Dani Alvez claimed the player would be a hit at the Nou Camp.* Added to that, the player himself has recently claimed that he would prefer to stay in Brazil until his contract expires after the 2014 World Cup, hosted by his home country.** It is understandable that he would want to stick around for that, and so any move right now seems to be just fantasy.
