Barcelona will be grateful that their transfer ban has been lifted. After a season of ultimate failure they will be looking to their new coach to breathe new life in to the squad for a fresh assault in the autumn.
And Luis Enrique may have his five top targets identified (aside from Claudio Bravo and Ivan Rakitic), according to Sport.es
Marquinhos – The 20 year old centre back has a stellar career ahead of him and Barcelona could be close to completing a deal for the player. He only joined PSG last year but the pull of Barca may prove too strong.
Jeremy Mathieu – Has been solid as a rock in defence for Valencia since they since him in 2009. He’s played 120 league games and scored 5 times.
Juan Guillermo Cuadrado – The 26 year old Columbian who plays as a winger fro Fiorentina might be deployed by Barcelona as a wing back in the event of the departure of Dani Alves. This guy is a speed demon.
Koke – A wonderful talent who Barcelona fans would be happy to have on their own side rather than the victorious opposition. At 21 he already has it all – mobility, dynamism, balance, poise. And he’s only going to get better. Would cost a fortune to sign.
Marco Reus – Sadly injured just before The World Cup and the tournament will be poorer for his absence. A wonderful winger with two great feet and a brilliant scoring record. Would suit Barcelona perfectly.
Let’s see Cuadrado in action. Barcelona fans: which of these guys is the priority signing for the summer?

*if dejan lovren, southamton centre back can be bought or ignos martinez who r both young,cheap & have puyol team drive our defence can stand firm, both can sum up to £30m.
*rakitic is good player bt we can not afford to do away with cesc this season we need him in team still , so if both are in our team we will b doing great job.
*the rest of squad must b filled by la masia graduates, bojan b give time on ball as striker, same to alex sanchezi.
*pedro & xavi must b kept too due to their will to play for the team & b learning institute to la masia

alexis,pedro,bojan and xavi shud nt be let go..alexis and pedro came to ur rescue on several occussions and did prove that they make a difference in the team(barca). Rakitic is a very gud signing and stirs hope for extra energy and intelligence in midfield.. Marco Reus wud be a dream signing for us(barca fans)… Av seen quadrado in action and i see no beta replacement for Dani,he is one of his kind..Messi needs suport and nt blame,he hs brought us joy,glory,records, cups etc as well as made us luk forward to watch the clud against any team..he and Neymar jr wil enventually do us justice… Barca for

FCB! FCB!! FCB!!! 4 LIFE……we all understand dat barca mostly need are GK, DF, and MD, now dat we have rakitic and ter stegen as a verbal replacement 2 both fabregas and valdes whom wil b departing dis summer. Now barca shld b talkin of how 2 bring in a defender lyk marquinhos or anoda defender 4rm various club @ any wre. I dnt tink barca need ppl lyk aguero, heguain or other winger bcus we already have players dat are perfectly fit in dis possition which are neymar, deulofeu,pedro and alexis including lionel messi. Whit all dis players barca is fit and ok to display deir tallent any wre in d world. What barca need most now is two defenders and anoda midfielder to replace xavi who is gettin closer to end his football carreer….
