The way that Koeman started his work at FC Barcelona was a bit abrupt. He decided that he did not want any key players like Suarez, Rakitic and Vidal but the club did not have enough money to buy replacements for these three players. So what now? They are improvising with young prospects.

The recent target is Ryan Gravenberch. This midfielder from Ajax has been compared to Paul Pogba several times and FC Barcelona wants to buy him before it is too late. When they bought Frenkie de Jong, the player was already overrated and they have to pay a lot of money.

But this one has only played 7 matches. He is 18 years old and the club valued him at $15 million dollars, which means that it can be bought for less money that De Jong, who costed $90 million to Barcelona. He is a complete player that can play as a number 5 or as an offensive midfielder

The reorganization at FC Barcelona is going to be very long and this kind of moves will be really important. The club cannot keep buying players for fortunes, they need to focus on what they have and improve with that. The new coach will need time to set a competitive team.
