Despite now not re-signing Lionel Messi, Barcelona are still expected to be very active in the transfer market this summer, with reinforcements needed to Xavi Hernandez’s LaLiga-winning squad.
As big of a club that Barcelona are, it is expected that they will be linked with many players. Across the course of the last few months, a grand total of 91 have been rumoured with making a move to the Blaugrana during this summer’s transfer window.

Some will certainly be more realistic than others, but it is a remarkable list, especially considering the summer transfer window has yet open.
While Barcelona will not be able to sign all 91, they would dearly love to secure five or six solid signings, as they look to build on last season’s solid foundation.
