With Barca's transfer budget limited, taking a look at this symbolic XI is a must.
Top free agents in summer XI: Donnarumma - Sergio Ramos, Boateng, Alaba, Bernat - Di Maria, Wijnaldum, Modric - Messi, Aguero, Depay.
Subs: Draxler, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Mata, Diego Costa, Calhanoglu, Milik, Thauvin.
Now a couple of words on each player in the starting XI.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan): Italy's most promising goalkeeper, secured 77 clean sheets in 214 appearances for Milan. And yes, he's just 21.
- Juan Bernat (PSG): A decent left-back who could cover the whole wing; may be past his prime, however.
- David Alaba (Bayern Munich): Barca's rumoured target; his huge wages remain a stumbling block but he reportedly wants to leave Bayern no matter what it takes.
- Jerome Boateng (Bayern Munich): An experienced player who's no longer at his best.
- Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid): More likely to sign a new deal with Madrid than to leave.
- Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool): One of Ronald Koeman's personal targets for Barca, covers three positions from defensive midfield to attacking midfield.
- Luka Modric (Real Madrid): Just like Ramos, expected to renew his Madrid deal, so his exit is unlikely.
- Angel di Maria (PSG): Still wonderful in terms of creating chances, had a chance to join Barca in 2017.
- Memphis Depay (Lyon): Barca's priority target; possibly the true No. 9 we need after Luis Suarez's departure.
- Sergio Aguero (Man City): Still a deadly striker despite his age, yet too injury-prone.
- Lionel Messi (Barcelona): Expected to sign a new deal with Barca when the new board comes, but other options are still on the table.

Zlatan will only be 40 next year and thats like 25 for a normal player.
besides Depay, the others are either not good enough, or unaffordable due to high wages demand.
This is useless
Houseton Valliere, why?
