Analyzing Barcelona’s players, contracts and the possible squad for next season
Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty ImagesLooking at Barcelona’s current squad, it’s a far cry from last season. The additions of Clement Lenglet, Arthur, Arturo Vidal, Malcom and having Philippe Coutinho available for the Champions League have strengthened the squad greatly in terms of depth and variety. However, injuries to Samuel Umtiti, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergi Roberto, Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets this season and great drop-offs in the consistency and quality of important first-team players such as Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez, along with daddy-time knocking on the door, is a reminder that Eric Abidal has his work cut out next summer.
