FC Barcelona's former fourth captain Javier Masherano left for China in January. The Club have however, decided not to appoint a new fourth captain until the Summer just before the pre-season preparations begin. The current Barça captains are in this order Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets. The captains are appointed by popular vote within the squad. Andres Iniesta himself may depart in the Club which will mean Lionel Messi will be promoted to main captain while two more captains will be elected. The candidates for the fourth captain spot include Gerard Pique, Ivan Rakitic, Luis Suarez. Pique's chances may be hurt owing to the fact that he's outspoken and very controversial. Ivan Rakitic is seen as a more solid option, he has captained Sevilla and the Croatian National team in the past, he joined in 2014.
