Messi names 5 players Barcelona should sign

Lionel Messi has a big say in transfers at Barcelona if rumours are to be believed. The Argentine is easily one of the greatest players in the club's history, if not the greatest, and it wouldn't be a surprise if the rumour is true.

Don Balon have a scoop now and report that Messi has named the 5 players Barcelona should try to sign in the 2 transfer windows of 2019. They claim that the forward has also submitted a list of players he wants sold as well.

The 5 players Messi wants signed are: Adrien Rabiot, Matthijs de Ligt, Benjamin Pavard, Frenkie De Jong and Krzysztof Piątek. The Argentine believes that these players will be vital for the club's present and future and wants them signed at any cost.

Barca have been linked with 4 of the 5 names with only Pavard not making the rumour mill so far. They do have Sergi Roberto and Nélson Semedo to play right-back right now and it will be a surprise if the Catalan side does sign the French defender.
