It's 50 million euros, plus some extra for any sales that may occur.

Those extras could be a lot. I think the team will raise serious money selling two or three players this summer, because of surpluses, some players want to leave, and the squad needs to be freshened a bit.

The team has to add an experienced CB and an experienced LB. These two players are needed just to replace Abidal. Adding a high-quality CB will allow Masch to also play DM.

In midfield, the big change needed is to make both Iniesta and Cesc midfielders instead of part-time midfielders. Although Xavi will be playing less, with the need to find lots of playing time for Thiago, very little playing time will be available for any others. So, Keita needs a new team, maybe loan JDS, Afellay could be the squad player.

I agree that a top-flight, scoring natural winger is needed. How about Cavani? Two forwards need to go, one could be loan of Tello.

Phil, you realize that the wants you listed above are likely to cost a whole lot more than 50mln?

What is needed for Barca is a Plan 'B'. Every team that plays us KNOW we will have all the ball, so they will sit back and try to hit us on the break. Teams that play 4-4-2 and have the back 4 well-drilled and the midfield line close to them will be hard to break down. If they bring the back 4 in tight, then there is no space for the ball to go through the middle. They CAN keep a tight 4 because Barca will not get to the by-line and put in crosses for tall strikers to head in, because we dont have any!!. We dont score from headers, and we dont score from corners; this cuts down very much on scoring avenues for us.
We need a striker who is big and strong and good in the air so that we can use wide players and the pitch and stretch teams. I love the tiki taki, but it is expected and can be defended against. We had trouble all this season away from home against teams who parked the bus. If we dont play at out best/miss chances/Messi having an off game, teams can get at us.
I know Ibrahimovic was sposed to offer this to us, BUT he was never a Barca player. He is too much of a prima donna; he plays well in the first season for every team he plays for then tails off/ and doesnt score in the big games.
We need a quality CB, LB and Striker.

This is absolutely our BIGGEST PROBLEM: bus parking.

+ Our team has an average height too low. Defensively we can not allow us to lose centimeter (for this reason WE DONT NEED ALBA, he's too small).
Usually we can play only with 3 players higher that 1.80m, Abidal, Piqué and Busquets (Puyol 1.78m). If one of them is injured, every corner and cross from free kick are ALWAYS dangerous for us. We dont have strikers or midfielders who can go back and help with their hight.

Find a solution against the fucking bus parking is not easy.
maybe sometimes we have to change tactics, and let play the opponent a little bit, just to open spaces.

Now that Pep has gone players like Keita, Pedro (Abidal at the end of season 12/13 when his contract will not be extended as well as Pinto), Adriano hopefully will be axed by Tito in order to show what his ambition is by bringing in their place new qualitative players. The sale of these 3 players should earn us in total 31 million euro.
