So, if it's true, we must buy Danilo and Verratti if possible, 2 big players perfect for the Barça play.
Depends on what you mean by 'big'. Veratti is only 5ft5in

Our first signing should be a RB (Danilo/Darmian/Bellerin) and then Verratti is a must. We should do anything to bring him here.
There's rumours Alves might be on his way out to PSG so maybe we could be able to snatch Marco on a little discount...No love for Gündogan here
IMO the more complete player considering we're playing more quick counter attacks. In a pure possession based style Verratti is probably a bit better though.
With PSG so tough to deal with, we could probably even get Gündogan + Kovacic for the same amount of money as Verratti.

Btw I'm not sure if Gundogan is the same after the injury, that's why I'm not mentioning his name.
Also will we have much money to spend this summer after the amount we spent last year we will have to stay within the FFP boundaries
ATM, our biggest weakness is our midfield, and the CM position our weakest link. So Gundogan should be our top priority signing, IMO. With him we'll be able to field a double-pivot that can alternate between our current high-tempo style and our old possession game; while still providing greater cover for our defense. And since Dortmund is unlikely to get a CL spot for next season, it should be a win-win situation for both clubs since they would get to have for an extra half a season without being cup tied.
A right back and a CM are all we need. I don't even think we need CBs, very few solution on the market in that area anyway. We will have 5 CBs once Vermaelen returns from injury. That's enough. Also, we need to resign Alves for two more seasons and keep Pedro at all costs.
Don't think Vermaelen has a long future at Barcelona, Mathieu might not stay here for more than 2 seasons either. Sooner or later we'll have to sign someone.
