Barcelona Set to Sign Three Players in the Summer If Neymar Decides to Leave

Published on: 28 February 2017

Barcelona are reportedly targeting three players in the summer to overhaul their squad, with Paulo Dybala thought to be their main target in attack.


Although there are reports that the Argentine will sign an improved contract with Juventus, both Real Madrid and Barcelona have been chasing his signature. It was thought that Dybala wasn't too keen on a move to the Catalan giants, considering they have Messi.


However, with reports in theExpresssaying Manchester United are interested in signing Neymar ina deal worth£200 million, Barcelona are ready to step up their interest in Dybala.


According to Spanish outletDiario Gol, the Blaugrana will go for Juventus' talisman if the Brazilian Neymar decides to leave the club, even though they don't want the former Santos forward to leave.

The Catalans also plan on using the moneyto complete their summer spending, with a right-back and a midfielder thought to be on top of their list.


They have been linked with Arsenal's Hector Bellerin, who has history with the club, having come through the famed La Masia academy. The Catalans have failed to replace Dani Alves since he left the club, and Bellerin is thought to be the ideal replacement, good in both defence and attack.


The final player that they are targeting is Italian midfielder Marco Verratti. The Paris Saint-Germain player has been one of the best midfielders in Europe in the last couple of seasons, and has a playing style very similar to that of Andres Iniesta.


With Iniesta coming to the end of an illustrious career, Verratti could be the perfect replacement. It had been reported earlier that Barcelona held secret talks with him over a move in the summer while he was on vacation. Instead, the club then went ahead andsigned Andre Gomes.
