1. Leon Goretzka

Leon Goretzka is the complete player, so to say. He is one of the best young players in the world, and undoubtedly the best option available in the market at this point in time. He has very high work rate, and hence, contributes immensely to both defence and attack.

Goretzka is a brilliant passer, and can find key passes in the final third. He can also hit bangers from outside the box. He can also provide height in the box during set-pieces, and is not afraid to get stuck in.

But Barcelona will need to work hard at the negotiating table to sign him. A January offer is ruled out because Goretzka will leave only when his contract expires, that is, next summer. So, the club’s representatives need to convince Goretzka to join the club in January.

But there will be a lot of competition from other European giants, including Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Arsenal.
