Despite an early crisis that struck the club, FC Barcelona still managed to have a brilliant season last term. The Catalans worked seamlessly during the campaign, and their hard work was rewarded with a domestic double in Ernesto Valverde's first year at the Camp Nou.

While achieving success is a very tough challenge, maintaining it is quite tougher. This is perhaps the reason why the Blaugrana have been busy in the transfer market, as they plan ahead of the next campaign. Club legend, Eric Abidal was made the Sporting Director recently, with the former Barca superstar expected to make a couple of decent signings very soon.

One area where Abidal needs to strengthen this summer is their attack. Since the departure of Neymar, the Blaugrana have lost a lot of attacking strength, putting a heavy burden on the shoulders of Lionel Messi.

Although they did sign Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele last season, the Catalans are yet to find a perfect replacement for the Brazilian winger. Coutinho has been more impressive in the midfield (a direct replacement for Iniesta) while Dembele is yet to find his feet at the Camp Nou.

In a bid to strengthen their attack, the Blaugrana attempted to sign Atletico Madrid superstar, Antoine Griezmann. But, the player's decision to remain at the Wanda Metropolitano has put the club in a desperate position to find another impressive attacker this summer.

Therefore, we take a look at 5 incredible superstars who can forge a decent relationship with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez up front:


#5. Hirving Lozano

Roda JC v PSV - Dutch Eredivisie
Lozano is one of the brightest youngsters in the world at the moment

Mexico has always been the home of incredible players, with the likes of Rafa Marquez and Javier Hernandez arising over the years. The next incredible prospect from the great nation is Hirving Lozano, a vastly talented and amazing youngster who has attracted interest from many elite clubs in Europe.

The PSV attacker is a player who enjoys having possession of the ball, using his electrifying pace and incredible dribbling skills to get past opposition defenders.

Lozano is also a very creative player, capable of providing clear-cut chances almost from nothing. He has a style of play that will enable him to succeed at the Camp Nou. In the 22-year-old, the Blaugrana might have seen the perfect replacement for Neymar.

#4. Anthony Martial

Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester United - Premier League
Martial would be a decent signing for the Blaugrana

Manchester United superstar, Anthony Martial is one of the brightest French players in the Premier League at the moment. The attacker joined the Red Devils in 2015, but after seeing his game time reduced under Jose Mourinho last season, the player is reportedly eyeing a move away from the Old Trafford this summer.

This could be a great opportunity for Barcelona to strengthen their attack ahead of the next campaign. Martial, who is currently representing his nation in the World Cup would be a great acquisition for the Blaugrana, with his incredible pace, dribbling skills and the ability to send the ball into the back of the net.

Occupying the left flank, the Frenchman would form a perfect 3-man attack alongside Lionel Mess and Luis Suarez. He can also function as a striker in place of the Uruguayan superstar.

#3. Dele Alli

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League
The Spurs' ace has been at an incredible level in the Premier League

One of the brightest players in the Premier League at the moment, Tottenham Hotspur winger, Dele Alli, is one of the amazing superstars Barcelona need to consider signing in order to strengthen their attack this summer. The 22-year old had a stellar campaign last term, bagging an incredible 14 goals and 14 assists in all competitions.

With his awesome pace and incredible dribbling skills, Dele can torment even the finest defenders on the planet. He showed his class against Real Madrid in the Champions League last term, running an interesting show and bagging a fantastic brace at the Wembley Stadium.

Apart from his ability to send the ball into the back of the net, Dele is also a very creative player; the type that could help Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez rack up plenty number of goals next term.

#2. Eden Hazard

Stoke City v Chelsea - Premier League
A magical playmaker that would help Barcelona regain their attacking strength

It is hard to find an attacker who is as complete as Eden Hazard in the transfer market at the moment. The Chelsea superstar has been one of the finest playmakers in the world for the past few years, with his incredible performances for the London outfit.

Hazard is a great player with immense talent and amazing skills, capable of tearing opposition defenses apart all by himself. His creativity, intelligence, dribbling, passing, and understanding of the game are those qualities that make him a perfect player who can replace Neymar at the Camp Nou.

With the Belgian playing on the left flank, Lionel Messi on the right and Luis Suarez deployed up front, Barcelona's attack would truly be unstoppable.

#1. Mohamed Salah

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Salah is a great goalscorer and a decent creator

Egyptian winger, Mohamed Salah was the biggest revelation during the previous campaign. The attacker completed a famous move from Roma to Liverpool during the summer of 2017 and established himself as one of the most prolific scorers in Europe.

While his 43 goals in 47 appearances last term has attracted interest from several European elite clubs, Barcelona will have a great business if they can manage to pip their rivals to the signing of the incredible winger this summer.

Salah is a player in the fold of Lionel Messi, with his incredible ability to be both a goalscorer and a creator. He is also viewed by many as the man who can help to reduce the workload on the incredible Argentine.
