Many dream of becoming the sporting director of a major football team, controlling the incomings and outgoings.
Barcelona are one of such teams who have the ability to blow up the market with their activity, even though UEFA recommend that they spend only 100 million euros more than they generate in sales.
What would you do?
De Jong and Griezmann
For now, it seems the most likely option with Frenkie de Jong's arrival already having been confirmed in midfield and Antoine Griezmann looking increasingly likely to form a new trident at Camp Nou.
The Ajax pack
It seems unlikely at present, given that Matthijs de Ligt is moving closer to Paris Saint-Germain and this may imply not signing Griezmann, against Miguel Angel Gil Marin's claims that a deal is done.
Total revolution
Another option on the table would be to completely tear up the team with six new signings, likely leading to the exits of players like Philippe Coutinho, Samuel Umtiti or Ivan Rakitic as well as fringe figures including Denis Suarez and Jasper Cillessen.
De Jong and Neymar
PSG's latest stance on Neymar could give Barcelona food for though to change their approach and instead bring back the MSN trident in attack for a move which would cost 250 million euros, surely leading to sales.
Craziness
L'Equipe have speculated that Barcelona could look to bring in both Griezmann and Neymar this summer, though that would certainly lead to sales of the likes of Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele in order to balance the books.

plz barça make this team next season.... It will b far enough to win a UCL. We are very good in the first leg. but we can't able to defend any teams in the second leg, though we have a 3 or 4 goals lead. It's timefor Suarez to say goodbye, he loses the crucial balls, doesn't have any ball control. Use Malcolm as a substitute, he has a great pace, skills. Real Madrid are signing great players with every qualities in each positions.Having Messi and not winning UCL is disgusting. hope we win UCL and La Liga this season.. Força Barça 🔵🔴

If this line up can be taken for a high press attacking setup and having substitutions like rakitic coutinho Arthur for a more possession defensive line up, it will work good for barca

I honestly think all these big name signings will make no difference for as long as Valverde is still at the helm.What we all don't get is the fact that barca have not lost players but its identity,which directly has something to do with the coach.The squad last season in my view would have been good enough to win the UCL,its not like Liverpool's squad is full of world class players??!! We have lost our identity and for as long as that is not addressed will be crying in the UCL even next season,Valverde is not the worst manager in the world,but he's definitely not supposed to be at barca..

as for Barca defends pls don't mention Umtiti, Roberto, Semedo they can't help am telling u the facts guys.. if u look at Umtiti he is not the Umtiti we know after came back from injury secondary, Semedo has failed to cement the number 2 position he can't even make crossing thirdly, Roberto has been forced to play the number 2 position nd it's not helping him at all because of that, wen u put him in d midfield he can't perform last Pique I don't know why Barcelona are still allow him to play 90 minutes in every game he is weak nd not strong aleast bring another player to compete him am very disappointed in the entire board nd d President they hv failed dat is d defence issue I will bring u d midfield nd attacking too
