Theoretically Barcelona should be better than last season, now they have added to their ammo by bringing in newcomers.
No, it shouldn't be theoretically but objectively.
Why is that, of course you can look at the list of players they have next season and find their statistics and performance. We know that not all Barcelona players have good performance, but they have a great main squad and are also ready to compete with other La Liga teams next season.
Xavi may soon lose one of his best wingers if PSG manage to reach an agreement with Dembele. But Barcelona still has Raphinha who was also one of Xavi's mainstay wingers last season, but next season I think Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres will get more minutes to play. Dembele has talk his desire to leave for Xavi, but I don't think Xavi will mind too much of that even though Dembele is still expected to stay. Barcelona is basically ready to compete next season even though this team has financial constraints.
Dembele moving out of Barca is more sure than Mbappe moving to the La Liga side, Real Madrid.
The fact that Barca will now have about €50million to be able to afford Cancelo without much stress or expenses is one good thing for them, after all, Dembele warmed the bench more due to long injury spell or not just up for starters because he claimed at a time, how racism was his issue for agreeing to the deal with PSG.
Am happy for him though, as he will fell more at home and be safe.
Barca has good tactics and would do well with Cancello signing.
It's not clear to me that Barcelona is not even thinking about Dembele anymore because they know this player is already lost and there is no reason to even think about him however Dembele could be a useful player for Xavi in the next season because of Barcelona playing in Champions League but I think Barcelona is trying to find other players to replace him. Bradley Barcola is the target for Barcelona but this player is also linked to PSg and even for this player Barcelona should race with PSG which is hard for them but I think after Dembele joining PSG this can be easier for Barcelona to hire this French player from Olympique Lyon.
