5 youngsters Barcelona could target for the future

#1 Youri Tielemans

We have seen Barcelona struggling in midfield in some games this season. Ivan Rakitic has not been at his best this season while Andres Iniesta is also at the dusk of his career. Andre Gomes, a big-money signing from Valencia last summer, has also failed to impress at Camp Nou. So, a new central midfielder could be what Barcelona will be in search for in the summer and they could get the player they want in young Anderlecht playmaker Youri Tielemans.

A player blessed with a solid physique, a great eye for a pass and an incredible amount of energy, Tielemans has what it takes to become a complete midfielder. The Belgian wonderkid has attracted plenty of suitors in the recent past and could be a valuable addition to Barcelona if they decide to make a move for him.
