Stung by Neymar’s decision to join Paris Saint-Germain for a world record 222 million euros ($263.5 million), Barcelona need to act fast to find a replacement with less than four weeks to go until the transfer window closes.
Here, five of the player that may have Neymar's spot close by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the Barca attack profiled.
Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Directed by Barca even before his universal colleague escaped, Coutinho ticks a large number of the containers in Barca's inquiry.
At 25 he is an indistinguishable age from Neymar, as of now has understanding of what it takes to sparkle in La Liga from a credit spell at Barca's cross city rivals Espanyol in 2012 and is a previous partner and companion of Suarez.
Be that as it may, confronted with a definitive merchant's market, Barca's concern will be prising Coutinho out of Liverpool.
Regardless of being flushed for money themselves from blasting Premier League TV contracts and an arrival to the Champions League, Liverpool have so far neglected to arrive their essential focuses in Southampton's Virgil van Dijk and Naby Keita of RB Leipzig, and are hence much more far-fetched to clasp to weight from Barca as they did in offering Suarez in 2014.
Paulo Dybala (Juventus)
Continually contrasted with Messi because of their Argentine childhood and skilled left feet, Barca know very well indeed of the harm Dybala can cause as he scored twice to thump the Catalans out of the Champions League at the quarter-last stage last season.
At only 23, he could be the ideal beneficiary to Messi's royal position.
However, he likewise marked another five-year contract in April meaning Barca would need to part with most by far of the Neymar cash to have any possibility of persuading Juventus to offer.
Kylian Mbappe (Monaco)
Until Neymar's takeoff, Barca had been one of only a handful couple of enormous clubs around Europe not connected with the 18-year-old sensation after a breakout season in which Monaco beat PSG to the Ligue 1 title and achieved the Champions League semi-finals.
Barca's intense adversaries Real Madrid stay best-set to catch Mbappe, yet with questions about whether he could uproot any of Real's normal front three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, Barca may demonstrate a superior alternative for the Frenchman.
Also, having been humiliated by Neymar's takeoff, beating Real to Mbappe is one of only a handful couple of courses in which Barca's ambushed board could recover the fans on their side.
Ousmane Dembele (Borussia Dortmund)
Dembele settled on an overcome choice the previous summer to oppose the advances of Barca and Madrid to move to Dortmund from Rennes and guarantee his improvement wouldn't be limited by an absence of amusement time.
Be that as it may, a year on, the 20-year-old Frenchman might be prepared for the progression up to the big deal at the Camp Nou.
Also, of those reputed to be on Barca's list of things to get, Dembele shows up the most effortless to escape his present club.
Dembele was associated with a preparation ground beat down with Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki not long ago and has talked about his craving to one day play for Barca.
Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
On the off chance that Barca go searching for a like-for-like substitution, Hazard may possess all the necessary qualities more than anybody having threatened Premier League resistances for as long as five years by cutting onto his correct foot from the left wing.
In any case, as on account of Coutinho, persuading Premier League sides to take advantage of their stars has turned into an inexorably troublesome errand in light of the record breaking TV bargains — notwithstanding for Barca.
What's more, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte demanded Friday the English champions are hoping to fortify as opposed to offer.
"These are gossipy tidbits. Eden is extremely upbeat to remain with us and to begin the new season," said the Italian.
