Maybe the most popular of the players but those are not hugely selling names on back of strips around the world in way the top names are.

Barca still lack that hugely popular figure and Lewandowski/Pedri are not it.

Now bing reported Messi is close to accepting Al Hilal offer and they want to sign Alba and Busquets to convince him.

If Barca could save a lare part of that 36m Alba salary it would be ideal.

Still need some kind of star name for kids to buy shirts and get interested. Those younglings are not lining up to get Lewa 9 on back of their shirts.
Dream scenario

We should have a good position financially, if Alba, Busi and Messi are sold/not signed.

But what to do with the money? Any attacking star on the market that we could transfer and boost our team?

BREAKING: Al Hilal have not only made an offer to Messi - but to convince him to accept, they’ve offered deals to Busquets and Jordi Alba. They also plan to send one to Verratti as well.

By all means! They should send an offer to Suarez and Neymar as well

Please Al Hilal take the Amigos out of here

Depends what the budget is for this player. Leao at LW would massively improve us in attack. But probably way out of our price range.

Would be bloody marvellous. They can pay us a franchise fee too and change their name to Barcelona Hilal.

That's the issue right now. Attacking talent is hard to come by these days. And we are competing with likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Bayern for attackers.

Leao and Osimhen would be names that get fans excited, but they would cost 100M each.

Would be nice to unearth a gem as City did with Alvarez, but seems we are bad in the scouting department.

Yeah those two have premier league written all over them. Although PSG might splash the cash if Messi + Neymar leave.

To be fair with our options at LW even an above average player would improve us, Carrasco is a better LW than current Fati and Torres. Also the type of LW we have is basically the same, cut inside and hope to shoot on the right foot, always playing on the inside. If we had an average winger but their playing style was more suited to taking on their man and driving down the wing then we might improve a lot even with an average player.

Fati the last few weeks has been the most cofident and free movement have seen in him in last couple years.

Could change the mind of the club between now and end of season particularly if no decent offers.

Easily could have had a couple assists and a goal when came on v Osasuna. Granted ten men and more space but thought he has looked better past few games.
