Salisu could prove to be the cheapest option on this list. Kounde, meanwhile, is valued at a whopping €75 million as Sevilla regard him as one of the best defensive talents in all of Europe. One would expect de Ligt to command a similar price tag, as he is considered arguably the best young centre-back in the world. But as revealed earlier, it appears Xavi Hernandez is looking for another centre-back in the summer, with Jules Kounde emerging as one of the top targets.

7 mins to kick: The teams are out for a final warmup, and the match is close to getting under way! As Dembele raced towards goal, the Celta Vigo defense was all out of sorts, and he cut a cross to Memphis Depay all alone on the penalty spot. The quick turnaround could be a factor, but upsetting the natural order comes with risks, and he has decided to make no changes. 7th min: Barcelona with hardly a kick of the ball through the first 7 minutes. 41st min: GOAL! BARCELONA! It's a total calamity at the back for Celta Vigo, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang produces a wonderful finish to double Barcelona's lead! He's taken off the field on a backboard and loaded into the ambulance. The game is under a significant delay, but football appears to be secondary at the moment. 83rd min: Barcelona asserting their dominance with the man advantage, and Celta Vigo will have lots to do to keep this at 3-1. Two Barcelona players are down injured, but the most concern is for defender Ronald Araujo as both teams signal for the medical staff and the ambulance onto the field very quickly. Eric Garcia came back from an offside position to interfere with play, and a VAR review confirms the decision. Speaking of which, Barcelona has issued an update, saying that Araujo has been taken to the hospital with a concussion. The Catalan club is beset by injuries and suspensions, with a number of midfielders unavailable for this match.

Barcelona's planned summer sales could see Arsenal complete two ... (Football.London)

Arsenal should look to pounce on Barcelona's transfer exodus as Frenkie De Jong and Memphis Depay reportedly become available for transfer.

Both players would enhance Arteta’s squad and it is a double deal that Edu should look to explore. Depay had a failed spell in the Premier League at Manchester United, but he has since then grown as a player and has matured which has allowed him to occupy the striker role. De Jong would be an excellent signing by Arsenal and it is a deal they should be pursuing. Arteta’s side are set to be left short in both areas of the field, which also coincides with a lack of quality. West Ham and Crystal Palace are hopeful of signing Eddie Nketiah on a free transfer in the summer. Amongst those on the list are Memphis Depay and Frenkie De Jong who would certainly be excellent acquisitions for Arsenal.
