5 Ligue 1 stars who would make Barcelona a better team

#2 Maxime Lopez (Marseille)

Maxime Lopez

It has been a difficult campaign for Maxime Lopez so far, but the young Marseille midfielder is a player capable of attaining great heights. In a true Barcelona style, he is a player comfortable in possession and enjoys picking out passes for team-mates in tight spaces. He is extremely technical and, at his best, a joy to watch.

OM believe that they have their greatest natural talent since Samir Nasri exploded through their ranks around a decade ago, but the youngster has lost confidence in recent weeks and has dropped back to the bench. This blip is unlikely to be terminal, and Barcelona must be keeping a close eye on his progress.
