The Frenchman will become the stat of the team if Leo Messi leaves and he will definitely have to start delivering. Griezmann is going to be the main man in attack for Barcelona, especially now that Ronald Koeman reportedly thinks of putting him back at centre-forward.
Yes, 15 goals in his debut season, especially considering how the team has fared in general, is not bad, but the pressure on the 29-year-old will significantly rise next season. Nobody has forgotten about his €120m price tag.
The 23-year-old will most likely become the main man on the team under Koeman and he better not disappoint. The midfielder had a decent season, considering that he was playing out of position, but Koeman has promised to return him back to his nominal spot.
De Jong has already proven that he can be a leader on the pitch both for Ajax and for the Dutch national team, the time has come to do the same at Barca.
The Catalans will need 'Dembouz' to stay fit next season more than ever as he's likely to become a regular starter. While Griezmann will be focused on finishing Blaugrana's chances, Dembele will be one of those responsible for creating them.
'Ous' has only two more years left on his contract with the club and if he doesn't deliver in the 2020/21 season, his chances to get a new deal in Catalonia will become practically inexistent.
It's said that the new coach has big hopes on Coutinho and plans to make him an important member of the team. Many fans wanted the Brazilian to get a second chance at Camp Nou and, by the looks of it, he will get it. With Messi gone, 'Phil' will have more freedom on the pitch, all he needs is a little more confidence.
The 32-year-old will become the team's captain if the Argentine leaves and he will have to assume new responsibilities. Leo was not the most outspoken captain and that was a let down at times.
Busquets, too, doesn't seem to be as much of a leader as Gerard Pique, for example, but he will have to make an effort and change his ways if he really wants to prove that he's worthy of the armband.
Who do you expect to step up and become the leader of the team if Messi is gone?
