Scouting for Enrique – 3 Players Barcelona Should Try To Sign This Summer

Barcelona is often regarded by some as the best club in the world, but the team’s struggles whenever their key players are missing has always been evident.

Be it the absence of any of the MSN triumvirate in the forward line, Iniesta or Busquets unavailable for selection in midfield, a Pique or Alba out injured, or having to play either of Sergi Roberto or Mascherano at right-back, depth remains a conundrum Barcelona are yet to solve.

But if they are to become more formidable, invincible and titles-worthy, spending on quality players is a must for the Catalans when the summer transfer window opens, and these 3 players would be the perfect signings.

Dybala

Barcelona continues to suffer in attack anytime one of their forwards isn’t available, and a player who would help lift that burden is this Juve and Argentine forward.

Talks of anyone playing backup to MSN bound to get little playing time has proven untrue with Alcacer seeing considerable share of minutes since his arrival, and Dybala’s abilities to play on the wings too would make him readily available for first team contention at the club every now and then.

Since scoring 13 Serie A goals and assisting 10 for Palermo in the 14/15 season, the 23-year-old has continually displayed his prowess in front of goal, notching 19 strikes in 34 Serie A appearances last term, while he has 5 in 13 starts this term.

His arrival to Camp Nou could even bring about a change in formation just to accommodate him in the starting XI due to his quality, and he would sure add a lot to the Catalan’s attack with his all-round versatility and talent.

Jack Wilshere

Iniesta remains Barcelona’s best central midfielder, and his recent injuries woes mean the club has had to manage with the unconvincing qualities of Rakitic, Suarez, Gomes and Turan.

In Jack Wilshere, Barcelona can have a quality backup for Iniesta and a capable midfielder good enough to run the show alongside Busquets in the middle of the pack.

Since arriving Dean Court, the 25-year-old has attained full fitness and is now nearing the peak of his powers which once saw him make light of Barcelona’s midfield back in 2011 in a Champions League clash.

Thus far in the Premier League this term, Wilshere has created over 30 chances and completed 85% of his passes.

Returning to Arsenal looks out of it for the English midfielder, and a move to Barcelona would be hard to turn down if an offer comes. Wilshere has everything it takes to return fluidity and top notch creative quality to the Catalans’ midfield.

Marquinhos

Despite acquiring the services of Samuel Umtiti from Lyon last summer, Barcelona defence still hasn’t stopped shipping cheap goals and can surely do with a centre-back of Marquinhos’ quality.

The PSG and Brazil international has a whole of quality years ahead of him and would represent a long-term addition to Barcelona’s defensive ranks.

Being comfortable on the ball and with qualities that include passing, holding on to the ball and dribbling, the 22-year-old perfectly fits Barcelona’s system of play and would make a suitable addition to a defence that continues to struggle.
