Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara has hinted at a return to former club Barcelona.

It's the midfielder's fifth season at the Bundesliga giants and the Spaniard has been in exceptional form of late.

The 25-year-old came through Barcelona's famous La Masia academy but followed Pep Guardiola to Germany in 2013 after being promised more game time.

Injury hampered Thiago's first two seasons at Bayern but he's performed well since returning. The midfielder has won four Bundesliga titles and two DFB-Pokal trophies since signing.

But despite insisting he's happy in Germany, Thiago has said return to Barcelona is possible.

Speaking to Catalunya Radio , the midfielder said: "Barcelona will always be my home, not just because I love the club, but also the city.

"I will always look at it with affection. You never know if I will return because I am really happy at Bayern, but football changes a lot. Anything can happen."
