According to Sport, the Blaugrana are now seriously exploring the possibility of bringing Thiago Alcantara back to the club.
The 32-year-old Spaniard is approaching the final 12 months of his current deal at Anfield and given the recent midfield additions of Dominick Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, the Merseyside outfit are said not to be completely closed off to the possibility of selling the Spain international.
