The summer of 2019 was a time which Barcelona fans may look back on as being pivotal for the future of the club.
Barca were looking to come back strongly after their dramatic elimination from the previous season's Champions League, while manager Ernesto Valverde was trusted with a big transfer budget, having won La Liga in 2019. Three years on, though, and most of the group have gone - including Frenkie de Jong, who looks poised to join Manchester United in a deal worth an initial £56m.
De Jong joined off the back of a breakout season with Ajax, helping the Dutch side reach the Champions League semis themselves. However, the six signings were a mix of young talents, apparent sure things and a bit of squad padding.
