They acquired winger Julie from Monaco for eight million euros.
This twenty-nine-year-old veteran winger was in the twilight of his prime, but his skills had not diminished.
This season, alongside the centre-forward Morientes, who was on loan from Real Madrid, they knocked out Real Madrid and made it to the Champions League final, only to be narrowly defeated by Porto.
If it hadn't been for Julie's injury forcing him off the field just twenty-three minutes into the game, the winner of that Champions League final might still be in question.
Julie and Quaresma are set to become Barcelona's devilish wings on the left and right.
As for who will play on which side, it probably depends on how they mesh in the new season.
Moreover, Deng Kai's little fanboy Lionel Messi is expected to break into Barcelona's first team this season and make his debut.
But for the short term, it's unlikely he will be able to displace stars like Julie and Quaresma.
At least that's what most people think.
