#4 Barcelona for Paulo Dybala
Trending
The departure of Xavi and the apparent decline of Andres Iniesta, coupled with the fading influence of Busquets due to the lack of a proper partner, the midfield conundrum at Barcelona has never been bigger. While Ivan Rakitic is a good player by all means, he hasn’t lived up to the huge name of his predecessor, Xavi.
Enter Lionel Messi.
The Argentine is touted to end his career as a midfielder and with a change in management, and the apparent inability of Barca board to find an adequate replacement for Xavi, Messi might be shifted sooner rather than later.
So, who takes his place? While it is impossible to replace Messi, Paulo Dybala is the player that comes the closest, at least in terms of positional likeness. The Argentine is a star in Italy and will definitely go on to become one of the best players in the world, if he isn’t already.
However, Juventus won’t let him go for cheap, as we have seen with Paul Pogba’s transfer, and only a record-breaking offer will take him away from Turin.
