Former Ajax wonderkid Frenkie de Jong has been a bright spark for Barcelona in an underwhelming season. The young Dutchman has shown his class for the Catalans, pulling the strings in Barcelona's midfield, and operates mainly in front of the defense. De Jong's ability to control the tempo of the game from midfield will provide a good foil for his partner in Juventus' Adrien Rabiot.

Rabiot has blossomed under Andrea Pirlo and has become an archetypal box-to-box midfielder. The Frenchman provides mobility and steel to the midfield. Rabiot's addition would provide balance to the midfield alongside de Jong.

Antoine Griezmann has found a new lease of life under Ronald Koeman this season. The mercurial Frenchman has contributed 5 goals and 2 assists in 12 starts for Barcelona and will provide dynamism and versatility to the midfield.

Griezmann also has an eye for goal, with the Frenchman being able move into a supporting striker's role if he needs to. His addition also provides fluidity to the teams attack with him being able to seamlessly fit into a multitude of positions due to his movement off the ball.
