Barcelona really do need an overhaul. Some great individuals but as a team they just don't look right anymore. Pique, Busquets, Rakatic, Vidal, Suarez and Messi - 6 big players who are 32 or 33. The supporting cast for those 6 arent nearly good enough. Martin Braithwaite? Griezmann is also at his peak at 29 and really has a few more years at the top before he starts to decline. There's no real core that Barcelona can rebuild around. Sergi is in his late 20s too. You could be looking at Griezmann, Sergi, De Jong, Dembele Umtiti, Semedo, Firpo and Arthur as the core of Barcelona for the next 4-5 years, but that core needs some serious help.
Best thing they could do right now is sell Suarez and Messi to whoever is stupid enough to pay big money - China, PSG or Man City - and try to speed up the rebuild with some careful purchases.
