Catalan giants, FC Barcelona have had a great transfer window so far this summer, signing a number of incredible superstars including the likes of Malcolm, Clement Lenglet, Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal – while also welcoming the likes of Rafinha Alcantara and Munir El Haddadi into the squad following their loan spells last season.
With the presence of incredible superstars in the team at the moment, it is quite undeniable that expectations are soaring higher this season.
As a matter of fact, their incredible performances against Sevilla and Deportivo Alaves recently has made talks of a possible treble for the campaign quite unavoidable – with the Camp Nou faithful urging their club to push for the three trophies during the term.
David Alaba
Following the departure of Lucas Digne this summer, Barcelona promoted their youth player, Juan Miranda to replace the French defender.
Although the youngster showed some promising signs during the preseason, it is quite obvious that he still lacks experience. Therefore, the Catalans need to find a quality left-back from the market and Bayern Munich superstar, David Alaba would be a perfect fit.
Alaba is a proven ball-playing defender who has impressed the football world for the past few years. The Austrian International would be a success at the Nou Camp, with his amazing confidence on the ball, decent passing, incredible pace and the ability to take the ball forward to create chances as well as score goals.
Apart from his brilliance in the offensive zone, Alaba also impresses defensively, providing rigidity at the back and helping in stopping incoming counter attacks. He can also feature as a winger or a midfielder, thanks to his incredible versatility allowing him to function in multiple positions on the pitch.
Gabriel Jesus
Barcelona’s last 3 matches prove that they are ready for the new campaign, with a number of their top superstars including the likes of Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele seizing the opportunity to send a message across to their rivals.
However, one major point of concern has been the terrible form of their striker – Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan has been declining severely and Barcelona must sign another striker as quick as possible to boost their chances of winning the treble this season.
Manchester City youngster, Gabriel Jesus comes as a perfect option at the moment for the Catalans to solve their problem up front. The Brazilian is a highly talented player with perfect finishing and incredible dribbling skills – and he could form a great attacking trio alongside Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele at the Nou Camp.
Having thrived under Pep Guardiola’s system at the Etihad Stadium, there is no doubt Gabriel Jesus would be a big success in the Catalan Capital.
