While they may be restrained by their situation, the club still have one of the biggest pulls in the footballing world, which will come in handy with a lot of their transfer targets.
Barcelona will be looking to target reinforcements for the holding midfield, right-back, central midfield, and left-wing position. They have come up with several names to fill these gaps, including a certain Xavi Simons.

And as it turns out, Simons is dreaming about a Barcelona return in the summer. He considers the city his home, and is on great terms with a lot of the first-team players in the squad, like Alejandro Balde.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich are reportedly challenging Barcelona for his signature, though.
