Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu admits they're in the process of renewing the squad.

Bartomeu has revealed the playing staff does need rejuvenation.

He said, "The generational overhaul is coming. But the most beautiful thing in football is to combine well those home players who have been winning for many years with those young people who come with the desire to win.

"The older ones are still ambitious: I am not only talking about Leo, but also about Suarez, Piqué, Alba, Busquets, etc., those players who are already in their thirties, not to mention people like Lenglet, Dembélé, Ter Stegen or Semedo, who are young.

"Now comes another batch of young people: three players, including Matheus, and three that come up from B. The arrival of seven players in a year, counting Pjanic, is not bad, it is a third of the squad."
