Lionel Messi was the biggest name who had been linked with a move to Camp Nou after two years at PSG, but the Argentine made the decision to move to MLS instead.

Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan joined the Blaugrana at the early stage of the summer window itself, but his former teammate Bernardo Silva remained at the Etihad despite being linked with Barca.
