Barcelona: Do the club have the money to sign Raphinha and Lewandowski... what's more, might Ronaldo at any point join?
Barcelona are back in preparing however the 23 players who turned up at the Joan Gamper preparing ground on Monday are not the 23 Xavi needs available to him going into the new mission.
There are various players who have question marks over their fates - including Frenkie de Jong and Ousmane Dembele - while the club have an extended rundown of players they need to get.
Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Cesar Azpilicueta are only a portion of the names who have been connected, however Barcelona are battling monetarily and may need to play out a shuffling act to land a portion of their objectives.
Sportsmail takes a gander at the progressions Xavi needs to see before the season begins on August 13 and that he is so liable to sign the players he needs.
Which of Xavi's crew will highlight next prepare?
Marc Andre ter Stegen, Sergino Dest, Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Nico, Pedri, Sergio Roberto and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ought to all frame a piece of the core of Xavi's crew. Furthermore, next Monday they will be joined by internationals Eric Garcia, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Ferran Torres and Gavi.
Be that as it may, others present in the primary meetings are supposed to track down different clubs: Francisco Trincao has returned from Wolves and could join Sporting in Portugal, while Riqui Puig, Keeper, Neto and midfielders Miralem Pjanic and Alex Collado are likewise prone to be somewhere else.
Loads of business still to do then, at that point. Do Barcelona have the cash?
That relies heavily on the amount a greater amount of the club's future profit can be auctions off to venture assets among now and the finish of August. They have sold 10% of their TV freedoms profit throughout the following 25 years to American venture company Sixth Street Partners for €207m.
That cash infusion implied they could close the books without misfortunes and ought to have the option to enroll free exchanges Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie who are both being introduced for the current week.
In any case, president Joan Laporta has conceded that to sign players for move expenses they will require sell a further piece of TV privileges cash and rent the club's retail arm Barcelona Licensing and Merchandising (BLM). The club and LaLiga are in steady correspondence with respect to what they can spend.
Laporta has demonstrated that raising up to €700m, with the deals of TV privileges and BLM to create a further £500m, would pass on free Barcelona to sign like a 'typical' club and not need to apply the 1:4 or 1:3 decide that obliges them to get four or, sometimes three, times, however much they need to spend.
Their LaLiga spending cap last January was short £144m and their compensation bill was €560m. On the off chance that they create €700m from TV privileges and BLM deals, and trim the compensation charge, they would be balanced out and allowed to pay large expenses. Laporta is sure they can arrive at that point.
Furthermore, that could leave them allowed to purchase Bernardo Silva, Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Cesar Azpilicueta and yet again sign Ousmane Dembele?
No no. Or if nothing else assuming they did that it would be past president Josep Bartomeu levels of flightiness. They can't contract the club in that frame of mind of bringing some monetary security and afterward blow the money infusion across the board summer.
Laporta necessities to keep up appearances that the club is once again at the top table prepared to offer for Europe's top players and he is surely doing that. Be that as it may, they wont get them all. Neither might they at any point manage the cost of the embarrassment of landing not a solitary one of them.
Who could we at any point hope to show up in safeguard? Will Kounde and Azpilicueta sign? Also, shouldn't something be said about Gerard Pique's future?
Provoke has previously let the club know that regardless of who they sign, he'll in any case wind up as best option. He's presumably correct.
The 35-year-old, who, recollect, has two years left on his arrangement and is owed around €40m by Barca - so they couldn't dispose of him assuming that they needed to - will presumably still be Xavi's focal cautious pioneer close by Ronald Araujo, with Eric Garcia and Christensen finishing the four community backs.
Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are the full-back choices with Barcelona presently surrendered to not getting the last option on a free, yet at the same time quick to get it going.
Xavi called the player in the colder time of year window trusting he would move mid-season and is as yet enthused about him however in the event that Azpilicueta gets a two-year arrangement to remain at Chelsea, he will and Barcelona should look somewhere else.
Alonso feels like to a lesser degree a need on the grounds that Jordi Alba plays such countless games and Sergino
