As seems to be the case every year, it’s a big summer for Barcelona.
There are areas of the squad that were lacking last season and while Xavi’s side were very impressive in their La Liga title win, Real Madrid should not have let Barça develop such a big lead at the top.
They will try to defend their La Liga crown against Real who have strengthened and an Atletico Madrid side that ended last season extremely well. They also need to make a splash in the Champions League, where they exited in the group stage last time out.
Barcelona have already secured Inigo Martinez and Ilkay Gundogan on free transfers, with defender Martinez bringing proven La Liga experience and Gundogan arriving as one of the best midfielders in the world after some stellar years at Manchester City.
Having already agreed a deal for Brazilian youngster Vitor Roque to arrive next summer, what players must Barcelona focus on now to bring immediate quality to the team?
