#2 Kostas Manolas to Barcelona
The most reliable theme in Barcelona’s defence of the La Liga, and their Champions League campaign was them being exposed at the back when the duo of Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Pique weren’t available to lead the defence.
It is quite astounding to see the underinvestment in defensive positions of one of the biggest clubs in world football. Kostas Manolas, has been one of the most consistent defenders in the Serie A in the last season or two, and he has what none of the current Barcelona centerbacks has, raw pace.
The Greek international, has been scouted by Chelsea and have been linked with Manchester United, but his set of skills would be perfect for the Blaugrana as they aim to reclaim their League title and challenge in the Champions League. He would be available for anything around the £30 million mark.
