Prominent among these linked players include Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessie, Jules Kounde, Cesar Azpilicueta, Bernardo Silva among others.
Various media reports have it that the Catalan giants are actively chasing these players and they could secure all their signings this summer.

Formation
Xavi is unlikely to revert from his favorite 4-3-3 formation with Marc Andre Ter Stegen starting in the goal.

Attack
Ansu Fati is likely to be favored at left wing with Ferran Torres serving as an option. Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele should occupy the other two positions upfront.
