Barcelona have been looking tame at the back of late, and in spite of having arguably the best player in the world, in their team, are not being able to score enough goals to win matches. A disastrous performance in the last Champions League game against Juventus was a pretty clear instance of the aforementioned calamitous situation the Catalan Giants are in.
Barcelona need to spend again in the summer as their last summer’s signings haven’t worked out well. With a new manager certain, it’s likely they’ll spend big to strengthen their squad depth and first team. Here are three players they should target in the summer to compete for major honours net season.
Kylian Mbappe
The French youngster has been linked with a move to a number of big clubs including arch rivals Real Madrid. With 21 goals in 36 appearances for the French side AS Monaco, Kylian Mbappe has been the most influential to bring his club to the top of the ladder.
Mbappe has very good heading strength along with ambidextrous finishing ability. He has also been a team man with the ability to thread key passes, setting up goal scoring opportunities for his teammates. His ability to dribble with the ball is also exceptional.
Hector Bellerin
The Arsenal defender has been absolutely mercurial this season for the London club. He has been on Barcelona’s radar for quite a long time and it seems the Catalan Giants are going to move in for him this summer. However, Arsene Wenger is not willing to let go of the defender.
With superb dribbling skills and a very cool head, while holding on to the ball, the Arsenal defender is the one Barcelona should look for to end their right-back woes. Apart from this, Bellerin’s passing and concentration on the ball are two prime reasons why Barcelona should go for the defender.
Phillipe Coutinho
The Catalan giants are looking to bring in Neymar’s compatriot Phillipe Coutinho to Camp Nou. The forward has been one of the major factors for the Merseyside team’s success during the current season.
His dribbling skills, his enigmatic passing and his ability to score has made him one of the best choices to replace Andres Iniesta who is in the twilight of his career. He is being linked with a number of teams, but Barcelona looks to be the hot favourite to rope in the Brazilian at this moment.
