Barcelona sporting department must already be scratching its head thinking of how best to replace Ousmane Dembele if he leaves for PSG in the coming weeks.
Barca can decide to keep their squad the way it is or sign a top player who can deliver goals and assists for the team.
Here are three replacements for Dembele at Barca if Xavi tells Mateu Alemany and Deco to leave their squad as it is.
1. Raphinha. The Brazilian will get a firm grip on that right-wing position if rumours about Dembele's exit becomes true. Raph scored 10 goals and 11 assists last term.
2. Ez Abde. Barcelona will be hard-pressed to keep the Moroccan if Dembele leaves. At least as a cover for Raphinha.
3. Ferran Torres. Xavi may try the Spaniard at right-wing as we already saw him drift to the right in some moments during El Clasico.
A wild card option is Lamine Yamal. But the kid only just turned 16 and it'll be unfair to put that weight of expectation on his young shoulders.
However, there are two more quality options Barca can pursue in the market if they decide to buy a replacement.
1. Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese already wants to join Barca but the operation has always been complicated because Barca aren't financially stable.
2. Leroy Sane. The German winger is quick, technical and has an eye for goal. Signing him may not be as difficult as Silva.
