Roster changes Barcelona need to make to win the Champions League next season

Forward

Lionel Messi

There is no discussion.Keep. What hasn't already been said about one of the greatest players of all time.You must be a great player to have the word Inmessionante in the Oxford Dictionary meaning "The perfect way to play football".

Luis Suarez

Sell. At one point of time Suarez was as deadly as a striker could be. He could tear apart defenses at will and score innumerable goals every season. This season however, an aeging Suarez has lost that killer instinct and yard of pace making it very difficult for him to run past his marker or behind defensive lines.

Ousmanne Dembele

Keep. Bought in with a lot of fanfare and expectations on his rather young shoulders. His debut season hasn't gone to plan as he was injured for most of it and is slowly adjusting to the difficult style of play at Barcelona.

Paco Alcacer

Sell. From his first season here, Alcacer hasn't really challenged for a first team place and isn't at the high standards expected at Barca. He should move to a mid table english team to revive his career.

Jose Arnaiz

Promote to the first team as soon as possible. He was supposed to be Barcelona's answer to Marco Asensio. An extremely versatile player that can play anywhere up front. Scored in every game he has played for Barcelona this season (Mainly Copa Del Rey).

WHO TO BUY?

The forward line needs major revamping if Barcelona want to maintain their goalscoring threat.

Harry Kane - DREAM

Who doesn't want Harry Kane in their squad right now? He was called a one season wonder but has broken records left, right and centre since.

Antoinne Griezmann - Realistic

Griezmann was primed to join Manchester United in the summer of 2017 but the move fell through when the french superstar decided to help his team in a difficult situation. Available in the summer for a measely 90mn, he is a steal for any club that can afford the price tag.

Timo Werner - Wild Card

A like-for-like replacement for Suarez. Timo Werner at his young age is already a starter for Joachim Low's German National Team. A young player who has skills but is capable of being moulded by the Barça passing machine.

Seeing a player with Antoinne Griezmann's capability named as a realistic option only shows the level that Barcelona (and Madrid) operate in.

Verdict:

If Barcelona make these few adjustments to an already star-studded lineup, they will likely be back to the form from their 2010-11 season.
