Barcelona are reportedly closing in on a deal for Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international, who allegedly 'dreams' of joining the Spanish champions, has been strongly linked with a move away from Turin in recent weeks.
Barca are said to have made significant progress in their bid to sign the 30-year-old, who has scored three times and contributed four assists in 32 appearances for Juve this season.
The midfielder has won three Serie A titles and two Coppas Italia since joining the Old Lady, while he has been named in the Serie A Team of the Year in each of the last four campaigns.
Barca vice-president Jordi Cardoner has suggested that the Catalan giants will be looking to swap rather than buy players during this summer's transfer window, but it is still expected to be a relatively busy market for Quique Setien's side.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Spanish champions could line up if they bring Pjanic to Camp Nou ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
Barca continue to be linked with a move for Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, but a recent report claimed that the club were struggling to agree a deal with the Italian giants.
It would certainly not be a surprise to see Martinez arrive this summer, but Setien has all but ruled out a swoop for Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar due to the finances involved.
Antoine Griezmann is one of nine players at Barca allegedly available for purchase ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, although it would be a surprise to see the France international depart due to current circumstances, and he could therefore start next season on the left.
Lionel Messi, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Frenkie de Jong will be certain starters, while Sergi Roberto, Clement Lenglet and Sergio Busquets should all keep their spots in the XI too.
Pjanic has largely operated as the deepest of three central midfielders for Juve, but Busquets is unlikely to be dropped for any extended period of time, while De Jong has impressed in a left-sided position.
As a result, Pjanic could be handed the spot on the right of a central three, and Barca would be signing a player capable of contributing in terms of goals and assists. Indeed, he has scored 22 times and registered 36 assists in 167 outings for Juve, while he provided 30 goals and 44 assists in 185 appearances for Roma.
This season, the midfielder has a pass success rate of just under 90% in Serie A, while he has provided, on average, just over one key pass per match.
