7 best Dutchmen that Barca could realistically get based on market value and need

Barcelona's brand new coach Ronald Koeman could possibly add the Dutch flavour to the Catalan club.

After all, he already targets fellow countrymen Donny van de Beek and Georginio Wijnaldum to become his first signings at the new side, as per multiple sources.

Tribuna.com have made a list of other Dutch stars Barca could possibly sign, based on their market value and the club's needs.

Matthijs de Ligt

  • Why: The 21-year-old right-footed centre-back is long believed to be the best candidate to replace ageing Gerard Pique.
  • Key stats: 4 goals and 3.3 interceptions per game last term.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €67.5m but Juventus could possibly ask for the exact €85.5m they paid for De Ligt last year.

Stefan de Vrij

  • Why: The 28-year-old is another right-footed centre-back but he is much more experienced and affordable.
  • Key stats: 4 goals, 5 assists and 3.3 interceptions per game this season.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €48m but the price may rise if De Vrij triumphs in the Europa League with Inter.

Donny van de Beek

  • Why: The versatile 23-year-old used to be Frenkie de Jong's midfield partner at Ajax.
  • Key stats: 14 goals, 7 assists and 1.8 shots per game during the 2019-2020 campaign
  • Transfermarkt's value: €44m but Barca could possibly get a discount for Van de Beek due to their strong ties with the Eredivisie giants.

Memphis Depay

  • Why: The 26-year-old winger could definitely bolster Barca's misfiring attack thanks to his Champions League experience and Manchester United's past.
  • Key stats: 15 goals in 22 games in all competitions last term.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €44m but Lyon may be open to lowering this sum as Depay's contract expires next year.

Georginio Wijnaldum

  • Why: The 29-year-old central midfielder thrived under Koeman's guidance at the national team.
  • Key stats: 6 goals in all competition and a staggering 91% passing accuracy rate last season.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €40m but Liverpool could possibly lower the price in order not to lose 'Gini' for free next year.

Donyell Malen

  • Why: The 21-year-old centre-forward could be Luis Suarez's heir; moreover, it was Koeman who introduced him to the national team.
  • Key stats: 15 goals in all competitions for PSV last season and one goal on his international debut against Germany.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €25m but Donyell's agent is Mino Raiola so anything could happen.

Justin Kluivert

  • Why: The versatile winger would join his father Patrick who is currently the head of of the Barcelona academy.
  • Key stats: 7 goals in all competitions and nearly 2 dribbles per match for Roma last term.
  • Transfermarkt's value: €22.5m but this sum may rise because Mino Raiola happens to represent Justin.
