Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.
Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Christensen, Ronald Araujo and Marcos Alonso.
Midfielders: Sergio Busquets, Pedri and Franck Kessie.
Forwards: Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Ansu Fati.
Leeds united are demanding a hefty fee for their star Playmaker Raphinha and considering Barcelona’s financial situation, the Spanish giants can only seal the deal if they sell Frenkie de Jong to Manchester united. We could see a different defensive players in Barcelona next season.
Xavi has made defense rebuilding his priority and this explains why Barcelona want to sign most of Chelsea’s defenders. Most of these defenders and summer targets are free agents and Barcelona will not be paying a dime to acquire their services.

Aubameyang might play a fiddle role next season, he will likely be used as a backup player for Robert Lewandowski, but this will depend on the signing of the Polish striker. Memphis Depay is expected to share the left role with Ansu Fati next season.
