#3 Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool
Barcelona are said to be long-term admirers of the Brazilian playmaker and have been heavily linked with a move for him. Even Camp Nou superstar Neymar has expressed that his side should sign the 24-year-old playmaker.
The Liverpool star has just finished arguably his best season statistically having scored 17 goals apart from the 7 assists that he provided in all competitions this season. Coutinho is a very different player to Iniesta but he checks all the boxes of the skills required by a midfielder to play for a club like Barcelona. The Brazilian has a propensity to cut in from the left and loves to let it fly from distance, often scoring amazing long-distance goals.
His close range finishing needs to be worked on but with age on his side, he will surely get better. He is also good with the ball and loves to dribble, while also being good with set pieces. However, the Catalan giants will have to part with a sizeable sum to lure the Brazilian to Camp Nou.
