How should Barca line-up next season?
1) Priority signings:
Barca needs to make at least 3-4 signings to compete with the big clubs in UCL.
We need a solid backline , the current one is tested and failed one. If you wanna look at the impact of a good defensive signing , just look at the impact VBD and Rubian Dias had in Premier League. Eric Garcia and Emerson should be our priority signings. And we shouldn't offload Emerson , even if for a good amount of money. He has been the most reliable RB in LaLiga this season, and don't forget he was one of the star performers against RM.
Second signing should be a midfielder, I don't think the current ones have reached a point where they can compete with the best midfielders around. The only player who is consistently world-class in FDG, others are too inconsistent. My priority in midfield would be Marcos Llorente , if we can afford his transfer. He is massively underrated. Along with FDG he is one of the most varsatile players in contemporary football. But, at Barca I would like him to play as CM and FDG as CDM. He is better in the final 3rd compared to FDG and Frenkie is way better in building the play from deeper positions. Together they would be a nightmare for opponents. My dream midfield for next season would be, FDG, Llorente, Busquets, Ilaix,Pedri and Puig.
We would also need a striker next season, who can score goals and act as a target man. I hope the board finds a cheaper alternative for mHalland. ( if we can't afford to sign him). One of the options should be Alexander Isac of Real Sociedad. He is a good finisher and very skilled with ball. I would always prefer a player scoring average number of goals with a mediocre team in La Liga over someone who scores for fun in any league, other then Premier league. I would only count the performance in these 2 leagues and UCL regarding big money signings.
So , in short my priority signings would be Garcia, Emerson, Llorente and a striker.
2) Players to be offloaded:
I think there shouldn't be any doubt about the players who need to be offloaded. Umtiti, Mathieus Fernandez, Langlet, Coutinho, Braithwaite and Roberto are the ones who should be offloaded at any cost.
Griezmann still remains and enigma for both the fans and the club. He missed 2 big chances in our defeat against Granada , which was one of the reasons that ultimately cost us the game. We need to see in thes final 5 games if he could be the difference maker. If he doesn't show his worth, I think we may include him in signing of Neymar, if the current rumors are true.
3) On loan:
Trincao looks a great player but he is yet to prove himself, he didn't have much impact whenever he was subbed in. A loan move to any LaLiga or Premier league club would be a good option to know what he has got.
Alena will most likely remain on loan due to the emergence of Ilaix Moriba.

who dash you Llorente moriba instead halland signing his possiblity is very low
yes , Halland's signing is difficult, but Loparta with his negotiation skills can do anything
yeah but it will cost us alot
Llórente is ex Madrid. He would get slandered by fans.
alaba,pique,Garcia,Dest pedri,Marco,FDG Griezman,Halland,Messi
Griezmann hasn't justified his position ... and Puig is better than pedri
