Barcelona Transfers: 5 Players They Must Sign

3. David Neres (Ajax)

While Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong so often stole the headlines of Ajax's fantastic 2018/19 campaign, one other key component to the Amsterdam club's success - Eredivise champions, KNVB Cup winners, Champions League semi-finalists - was the flair and creativity of Brazilian forward David Neres.

Whether operating on either flank or as a support striker, 22-year-old Neres impressed many with his directness and end product as the Brazil international ended the season with 12 goals and 15 assists.

Clearly Ajax will be desperate to keep hold of as many star players as they can - de Ligt and de Jong having already departed this summer - but every player has their price.

If recent reports are to be believed, Ajax would be prepared to let Neres leave for a fee in the region of £70 million. With plenty of years left ahead of him, David Neres could be a brilliant signing for Barca as the Catalan club look towards the future.

For the player himself, a move to Barcelona and a re-teaming with Frenkie de Jong may prove too tempting to turn down should Barca see Neres as someone to follow in the footsteps of famed Brazilians such as Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Romario - all players who became legends at Camp Nou.
