Comments:
1) Coming next Summer we should have an Initial transfer budget of at least €130M.
2) Vermaelen, Munir, Samper and Douglas' contract expires next Summer. However, I believe Munir's will be renewed.
3) We are currently missing a proper backup to compete with Alba for the left-back position. My personal candidate - Juan Bernat (25), will be a free agent next Summer, if he doesn't get sold before the window closes.
4) Denis and Rafinha will be direct competitors this season. Whoever performs the best will likely stay, while the other will be sold.
5) Next Summer Rakitić, Busquets and Vidal will have turned 31, 31, 32 respectively. I would listen to offers on both Rakitic and Vidal.
6) Cillessen will likely want to move on from the club next season.
7) Depending on Suárez's performance, we should listen to offers.
8) If not this season, then surely next season Aleñá should be loaned out. He is currently 8th in the pecking order and will get next to no chances. I also believe Valverde to favor Riqui Puig when it comes to the two.
9) Next season we will need to strengthen GK, LB, CB, CM and possibly CF - depends on Suárez's performance.
