Following their double-winning season, it appeared the summer would be one of evolution rather than revolution at the Camp Nou. However, with Arthur and Clement Lenglet already through the door, the club have by no means finished their transfer business.
A move for Chelsea's Eden Hazard has been suggested in recent weeks, with the Belgian keen on a new challenge this summer and ideally one that involved Champions League football.
However, Hazard remains one of Real Madrid's top priorities, with the two sides of the 'Clásico' divide likely to go head to head for his signature.
According to 'SPORT', the latest name to be of interest to Ernesto Valverde's side is that of Willian. The Brazilian was known to be unhappy at Stamford Bridge under Antonio Conte and new boss Maurizio Sarri could face a challenge to convince him to stay if there is significant interest from elsewhere.
His performances against Barcelona in the Champions League attracted admiring glances from Cam Noup bigwigs and it seems that there has been no better time in the recent past to launch a move for the Samba star.
However, the hypothetical arrival of the pair would surely lead to an exit as it would leave Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele, Philippe Coutinhom Willian and Hazard all competing for just three places in the team.
Were that to come about, Dembele would be the most likely to depart.
