#3 Ivan Rakitic
The Croatian international was on the receiving end of the ire of Barcelona fans towards the end of his Barcelona career. But that doesn't affect the midfielder's stature as one of the best signings made by Bartomeu during his tenure.
Ivan Rakitic arrived in Barcelona after completing a £15 million move from Sevilla in 2014, the same year Bartomeu took charge of the club. After initially struggling to break into the first team, the Croatian established himself as a regular in the starting XI.
The midfielder had an impressive debut season as Barcelona won the treble that year. He was one of the key players for the Blaugrana as they dominated the domestic circuit.
Rakitic spent six seasons at Camp Nou and only left the club this year. During his time at the club, the Croatian won 13 titles and made 310 appearances for the Blaugrana.
#2 Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
If there is one player in the present Barcelona team who could've broken into Pep Guardiola's dream team, it is Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. The German was another player who arrived at Barcelona the same year as Bartomeu, completing a €12 million move from Borussia Monchengladbach.
After initially playing as an understudy to Claudio Bravo, Ter Stegen became the first choice keeper for the club when the Chilean moved to Manchester City. The German has been irreplaceable ever since.
Apart from Lionel Messi, Ter Stegen has arguably been one of Barcelona's most consistent performers. At times, impressive displays from the German has helped Barcelona win crucial matches.
In six seasons, Ter Stegan has so far made 236 appearances and has won 12 titles with the Blaugrana.
#1 Luis Suarez
The third player in this list who arrived in the same year as Bartomeu, Luis Suarez completed a much-anticipated move to Barcelona in 2014. At Barcelona, the Uruguayan formed one of the greatest trios in the history of football, linking up with Lionel Messi and Neymar. Success for the team was imminent as the Blaugrana secured their second treble in the striker's debut season.
Suarez is arguably the greatest centre forward to play for Barcelona. The Uruguayan scored an impressive 198 goals in just 283 matches as the Catalan giants dominated Spanish football. However, Suarez was forced out of the club this season and joined Atletico Madrid.
The striker won thirteen trophies during his six seasons at Camp Nou. He also won the Pichichi in a time when Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were in their primes. Suarez left Barcelona as their third-highest goalscorer despite playing there for just six seasons.
