#1 Lautaro Martinez (Argentina)

Argentina’s main striker throughout the tournament, Lautaro Martinez, is no stranger to Barcelona. The Inter Milan striker was highly sought after by Ronald Koeman last year and the Catalans almost struck a deal with him until it was found out that Barca did not have the financial stability to afford him. It was a devastating blow to the Blaugrana and Copa America showed us exactly why. The player scored three goals in six matches and was only one goal away from the Golden Boot spot. His season with Inter was also an amazing one. Along with Romelu Lukakau, the Milan side were able to dethrone Juventus after nine long years, and Martinex played a big role in it.

He scored 19 goals in all competitions and also provided 11 assists. He is a true team player and Messi had previously stated that he would love the Argentine to play at Barcelona. Although the deal did not go through last year, it might still be on the table. The Catalans did bring in Memphis Depay, however, Koeman might still want to bring in a proper number nine. While it is unlikely that the player will be signed next season, he might be signed next to next season. Martinez is still quite young and he would be a big investment for Barca however, his stats show us that he can be counted on and he can surely be the next Luis Suarez of the club.
