Key positions Barcelona need to strengthen this summer

Despite winning La Liga under Xavi this past season, there are a few areas of the squad that Barcelona know they need to address this summer.

They need to find a new man to take over the base of the midfield with Sergio Busquets leaving the club. Many players have already been linked with that role, while another more-rounded midfielder seems to be a possibility too.

There is no natural right-back in the Barcelona squad at the moment so they need at least one player of quality to fill that gap. There could be a lot of movement in the wide areas with the likes of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati possibly being sold to.

Beyond all of that, they need a striker who is willing to be Robert Lewandowski's deputy and can step in for the Pole when he needs to be saved for a bigger game.

Who are Barcelona interested in?

There has been a remarkable number of players linked with a move to Barcelona early in the summer but in terms of players that they clearly hold a serious interest in, Ilkay Gundogan and Joshua Kimmich are at the top of the list.

The former could be available on a free transfer if he decides not to renew with Man City, while Kimmich will be harder to acquire given that big fee will be required to get him.

Another midfielder being linked heavily with Barcelona is Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat. The Moroccan impressed at the World Cup and after a dip in form, has ended the season very well. Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad is another target, as is Joao Cancelo who can fill in the gap at full-back.

The one position where Barcelona do not need any reinforcements is in goal, and they have not been linked with any goalkeepers in recent weeks.
