The current squad under Quique Setien is of an aging one since most of the starting players are in their thirty’s which also makes them highly susceptible to long term injuries.
The Blaugrana have four injured players currently and had many more during the course of the season. Lionel Messi has asked the board to sign a few superstars in order to compete for the Champions League trophy once again. The Captain believes that the board will meet his demands and would possibly sign either Neymar or Lautaro Martinez next season or maybe even both.
Don Balon claims that Lionel Messi has asked for two more players apart from Neymar and Lautaro Martinez, the two players are from Ajax and Napoli. The Barca captain wants the board to sign his countryman Nicolas Tagliafico from the Netherlands who could be the best alternative for Jordi Alba.
The Spanish left-back has had a tough time maintaining his fitness and Junior Firpo’s poor behavior has seen him fall down the pecking order under Setien, maybe Nicolas Taglafico could fill in the gap and form a strong partnership with Pique at the back.
Fabian Ruiz’s addition in the team would have a major boost in the midfield and Quique Setien knows how to make the most out of the former Betico player as he secured his debut under him.
The two signings would cost Barcelona a little less than 150 million euros, although Josep Maria Bartomeu and his team plan to reduce it to 110 million euros for the two players.
