Barcelona have ambitious plans for the summer transfer window, especially considering the financial situation they are in.
The Catalans are said to have an agreement in place with Guido Rodriguez to strengthen the midfield, while another big-name signing in the defensive midfield is also expected.
The left wing, which is the team’s next big priority, sees the club linked with various names. Nico Williams and Xavi Simons have grown in prominence in recent days, but Dani Olmo is another player Barcelona continue to maintain tabs on.

Ansu Fati is on the club’s exit list after an underwhelming loan stint at Brighton and Hove Albion. With clubs in Saudi Arabia interested, a departure is likely.
Further, the Catalans could look to sell Raphinha or even Robert Lewandowski this summer if the right offer comes in. Joao Felix’s future, moreover, still remains undecided.
