8) Cristian Tello/Koke (Barcelona and Aletico Madrid)
One of the most in-demand midfield players in Europe at the moment, Atletico Madrid star Koke is attracting big interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, but it is thought that Barcelona’s desire for a long-term successor to playmaker Xavi will see them up the ante in their pursuit of the 22-year-old.
Everton target Cristian Tello appears to be the player that Barca will be willing to sacrifice in order to bring Koke to the Nou Camp, and with Atletico possibly set to lose other players in the attacking midfield positions, the addition of Tello should help make up for that as Diego Simeone’s side take on the difficult challenge of retaining their La Liga title.
