17) Pedro – Barcelona
This one’s another no-go, because he’s just extended his Barcelona deal (via FC Barcelona).
18) Isco – Real Madrid
Sadly, the most unrealistic option on this list. There’s no way Real Madrid are parting with the breathtaking Spanish playmaker, who’s already one of the best in the world at his position. Anyway – we’ve got Coutinho!
19) Yevhen Konoplyanka – Dnipro
Famously almost joined back in January 2014, Konoplyanka is out of contract – and according to the Daily Mail – we’re considering battling Stoke City for his signature. He’s decent, but not a world-class player, and will provide better squad depth rather than anything more exciting.
20) Mauro Icardi – Inter Milan
Icardi comes with baggage. He’s had countless off the field problems, but he’s young and talented enough to overcome them… The Argentine scores goals for Inter, and if we could somehow scoop Kovacic and Icardi we’d be over the moon.
