If you had to choose the team with the best signing effect from the top five league teams this season, Barca would definitely be on the list. Judging from the team's performance so far this season, Barca has clearly shown a "low open high" trend. Under Harvey's leadership, the team is getting better. In their last 4 league games, they have won 3 and drawn 1 and are the most powerful team in the league. Considering that Real Madrid have been in poor form in the past period, if it were not for the fact that Barca had fallen behind too many points in the early stages of the league, they even had the hope of competing for the league title. However, in the competition for the top four places in the league, Barca have a clear advantage in terms of strength and form.
From the perspective of the team lineup, in the front, middle and back three lines, Barca still need to make some adjustments and reinforcements. In the backline, Barca's age structure is not reasonable. Most of the team's defenders are young players such as Mingeza, Eric Garcia and Araujo, as well as some veterans over the age of 32 such as Pique, Alba and Alves. Lenglet is almost the only defender in his current year, but his performance this season is obvious to all: he has made 12 appearances in the league and averaged only 6.37 points per game. Relatively speaking, Araujo is almost the only player in the team who deserves Xavi's complete trust. It is reported that Barca is very appreciative of Azpilicueta. The Spain international has maintained his form well this season, though he is 32 years old. Although there is no transfer fee for signing him, the effect of such reinforcements on the strength of Barca's back line does not seem to be too obvious.
In midfield, Barca have a number of young players with great potential, whether it is Garvey, Pedri or Nico, who have unparalleled talent, and in time, they all have the hope of growing into top midfielders. However, these players have a clear characteristic, that is, excellent technical ability, excellent reading ability, but the body is generally relatively thin, when encountering opponents with excellent physical confrontation ability, the team's midfield defense has more obvious problems. Coupled with the fact that Busquets has long been away from his peak state, his physical strength and speed on the field are not ideal, the coverage area has decreased significantly, and his role in the defensive end is naturally not satisfactory. Therefore, the team needs to have a defensively strong back player to escort the above midfielders.
According to World Sports, Barca's interest in Gravenberg seems to be growing. This season, the 19-year-old's talented defender has shown great potential on both ends of the floor: on the offensive end, he delivered 1 goal and 3 assists to create four great scoring opportunities for his teammates, and on the defensive end, he averaged 1.2 successful tops and 4.5 returns. From the technical point of view, although the height reached 1.9 meters, Gravenberg has a very good foot technique, and dribbling is his skill. If Barca succeed in recruiting him, he has the ability to make the team's midfield more dynamic. On the transfer market, Gravenberg is worth around €35 million.
In the forward line, after signing 3 excellent attackers in one go, the improvement in barca's forward strength was immediate. Still, these players are either past their prime, like Aubameyang, or haven't really lived up to their potential, like Ferran Torres and Traore. If the team wants to get back to peak form, they still need some top-level players. Objectively speaking, if Dembele can control the injury problem and agree with the team on the renewal of the contract, he will still be one of the best wingers in European football. This season, Dembele has scored three goals in eight league games, averaging 7.15 points per game, which is a good overall performance. Sources say that despite never getting a satisfactory offer from other teams, Dembele seems to have changed his mind and wants to stay at Barca. However, the differences between the two sides on the treatment of players remain, and Dembele is likely to have to make big concessions if he wants to stay in the team.
In addition, in the position of scorer, Barca are still looking for the right player in the transfer market. As Expected by Laporta and Xavi, after having several capable wingers, a capable top scorer will be the last piece of the puzzle on the team's front line. According to the Daily Sports, after Dybala nodded in agreement, Barca were already very close to signing the Juve star. His renewal negotiations with the team have never progressed. With his contract about to expire, the odds of his departure are skyrocketing. It is reported that Dybala has decided to abandon the renewal negotiations with the team and has informed Barca that he is willing to sign with Barca to play at the Camp Nou next season. For Barca, Dybala, who can play as a center forward and shadow striker, has an excellent standard, and the value for money of this transfer is undoubtedly quite good in the case of visa-free.
