#1 Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City & Brazil)
A straight fit for the position to be vacated by Suárez, Jesus is the youngest player on this list and the best fit for Barcelona if El Pistolero eventually leaves.
The 20-year-old native of São Paulo has had a meteoric rise to the top of Brazilian and world football in a very short time, a testament to his abilities and temperament.
Like all young Brazilian kids who move to Europe very early in their careers, Euro-centric pundits argued that the kid would find it difficult to make the step up to a “tougher” league like the Premier League.
The cocky, always smiling Jesus has gone about proving them wrong as he has taken to football in England like a duck to water since his €32m move to Manchester City in January 2017.
Under the tutelage of Barca legend, Pep Guardiola, the electric youngster has scored 15 goals in just 26 games for the Citizens.
When juxtaposed against his tally of 8 goals in 16 games for the Canarinho of Brazil, the picture is one of a young man who has the world at his feet and will only get better.
He will cost the Blaugrana a pretty penny as Manchester City do not need to sell but he is guaranteed to be as good as Suarez has been for the team.
