The 29-year old Belgian is reportedly being chased by La Blaugrana as a backup center-back for the likes of Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti and can be a potential star at the Camp Nou.

His ability to read the game from the back of the defensive line and the fact that his experience is unparalleled could really help Barcelona win the treble this season if he is signed in January.

His versatility as a defender could be a key as he can also be deployed as a right-back occasionally. While he his an extremely important defender for Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs definitely lack the trophies and so does Alderweireld, and he can join the Spanish giants and win some Silverware.

#4 Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Currently labeled at a price tag of €90million, the Serbian attacking-midfielder has been under the radar of some of the most prestigious clubs all across Europe and could possibly be leaving for any of the European giants in the month of January.

Milinkovic-Savic has been compared to the likes of Andres Iniesta and Guti for his ability to play anywhere in the midfield and creating some of the most important opportunities for his teammates as a natural number 10.

While the rumors have already suggested that La Blaugrana could be making a move for the midfielder, Manchester United along with Real Madrid have joined the race in order to secure his signature. However, if he is to arrive at Camp Nou, Barcelona would officially become the deadliest team in Europe, as he can then play as an attacking midfielder, giving Lionel Messi more room in order to be more aggressive.

#3 Krzysztof Piątek - Genoa

With nine goals in 11 appearances, Piatek is currently the Serie A top scorer and is becoming one of the most recognized young footballers in the world. The fact that he can play both as a striker and as an attacking midfielder is something that not all the football players possess. With his extremely sturdy build and an eye for the goal from some of the trickiest spots, the Polish International is being looked at as the 'next Luis Suarez'.

If he is to arrive early at Camp Nou, Piatek could immediately become a success for the Spanish giants, as his goalscoring ability can help Barcelona through injuries or suspensions.

In addition, playing with the likes of Lionel Messi and Phillipe Coutinho will only help Barcelona take the trophies home. However, he is already being chased by some of the biggest clubs in Europe, hence it could be difficult for Barcelona to actually grab his signature.

#2 Miralem Pjanic - Juventus

While Juve is currently enjoying their run in the league, Pjanic is an extremely important part of their squad, as, without him, they wouldn't be so effective. The midfielder was first seen as a replacement for Andres Iniesta, due to similarities in the way Pjanic moves the ball around and the fact that he is an extremely versatile central playmaker. However, the Bosnian decided to stay at his current club after multiple transfer speculations this season.

This does not conclude the transfer talks, as Barcelona could look forward to signing him again. If he is to arrive at the Camp Nou, he could really be an asset as someone who can provide the goalscoring opportunities to the likes of Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele, and Lionel Messi, as his style of play corresponds to that of the Spanish giants. It would surely be one of the 'signings of the decade' for Barcelona.

#1 Christian Eriksen - Tottenham Hotspur

The Danish playmaker is often considered as one of the best midfielders in the world right now due to his ability to read the game, providing some of the trickiest opportunities for his teammates and that he is a set-piece specialist with an extremely strong character.

Although he is a natural #10, Eriksen can also be aligned as a central midfielder who can play on either side, as one of his rarest quality is the fact that both his feet are extremely strong.

Eriksen has reportedly being chased by Ernesto Valverde and can possibly join Barcelona in the future. The fact that he hasn't won a trophy with Spurs is something that could change his mind and make him leave his current club.

Eriksen could really amp up the attacking midfield area, relieving Messi from his duties as a natural #10 and allowing him to play as a forward. Barca will be an extremely tough team to beat after his arrival.
