#3 Frenkie De Jong
Frenkie De Jong became Barcelona’s second-most expensive transfer of all time when he made the move from Ajax, with a massive reputation behind him.
Despite an underwhelming start to life at Camp Nou, the Dutch international is undoubtedly a generational talent. With wide passing range and dribbling skills at his disposal, De Jong can control and dictate play from the middle of the park.
At just 24, De Jong will only get better with experience, and the Barcelona faithful will be hoping to witness him emerge as a truly world-class footballer this upcoming season.
The Dutchman has taken some time to settle down in a new environment and adapt to the new styles of football, but is now one of the first names on the team sheet. In the 2020-21 season, De Jong registered 51 appearances for the Blaugrana and will look to improve on his performances.
#2 Memphis Depay
Memphis Depay was one of Barcelona’s primary targets heading into the 2021 summer transfer window, and Ronald Koeman managed to snap up his main man on a free transfer.
The former Manchester United man rediscovered some of his best form in Ligue 1, where he emerged as one of Europe’s most lethal strikers. Plying his trade for Olympique Lyon, Depay tallied 76 goals and 56 assists in 178 appearances.
The Dutch international played a pivotal role in Lyon’s historic 2019-20 Champions League campaign, where he scored six goals in eight appearances to guide Les Gones to their first-ever semi-finals appearance.
The Barcelona faithful will have huge expectations from Memphis Depay to add creative flair and finishing touch, which will allow Lionel Messi more freedom in the final third.
#1 Sergio Aguero
The Manchester City legend will embark on a new challenge after 10 glorious years at the Etihad as he joins forces with his Argentine compatriot, Lionel Messi, at Camp Nou.
However, this will not be Sergio Aguero’s first time in Spanish football, as he donned the colors of Atletico Madrid for a five-year spell between 2006 and 2011. A lot has changed since, as the now-33-year old Aguero is one of modern football’s greatest goalscorers.
A proven goalscorer like Kun Aguero will relieve Lionel Messi of goalscoring duties to a large extent and also possesses skill with the ball at his feet to create chances for the likes of Depay, Dembele and Messi. His experience and presence in the Barcelona squad will certainly benefit Barcelona in the upcoming season.
After registering a staggering tally of 260 goals in 390 appearances for Manchester City, Sergio Aguero will look to enhance his legend at Barcelona.
