#3 - Ousmane Dembele
Ousmane Dembele has his contract expiring at the end of this season but is yet to agree on a new deal.
The Frenchman reportedly has an agreement to join another club on a free transfer, but Xavi is unwilling to freeze him out of the squad. The manager said:
"He looks happy. He is an exemplary professional. I have not had a single problem with him and I have heard all sorts. That he has not been professional, that he doesn't take care of himself... it is the opposite. He trains well and he is positive around the group. As for the rest, let's see. His deal is up at the end of the season and [what happens] depends on him and the club. All I can say is that he is a player I really like."
Reports suggest PSG and Chelsea are leading the race to sign the winger.
#2 - Philippe Coutinho
From one £100+ million deal to the other. Barcelona will now think a few times before spending big on players as both record signings have failed to live up to their expectations.
While Dembele is still at Barcelona, Coutinho has been loaned to Aston Villa.
The Premier League side have an option to sign him permanently at the end of the season, and given his start to life back in England, that move is very likely to happen.
#1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is having a tough season in goal, but is slowly getting back to his best. He is one of the players the media believes will leave the club this summer, but there are no indications from the player or the club.
Earlier this month, the German goalkeeper took shots at the media for 'pouring fuel over fire' when his performance dipped.
He said:
"I always try to give everything. If I was [playing] badly or out of form, I would not be on the pitch because I have a responsibility to myself, the team and the club. I am super good and I feel good [physically]. I am working hard and, as is the case with the team, the results will come. Some of you [in the media] have written articles to pour petrol on the fire, because you like doing that, I am sorry, but I know what I am doing well and what I am doing not so well, so I am relaxed."
Barcelona are yet to make a decision on their goalkeeper, but reports suggest Xavi will be looking to get a more reliable player in between the sticks.
