Barcelona are interested in re-signing Southampton star Oriel Romeu
Romeu, 25, has been one of Southampton's stand-out performers this season.
And his impressive displays have not gone unnoticed with his former club Barcelona interested in bringing him back to the Nou Camp, report Spanish outlet Marca.
The Saints star was on the books at Barca from 2004 to 2011, but he only made one first-team appearance for the Catalan giants.
But after spells at Chelsea, Valencia, Stuttgart and now Southampton Barca are ready to secure a return for him after six years.
It is claimed sporting director Robert Fernandez is looking to sign up to four players as he looks to shuffle the pack when Luis Enrique departs at the end of the season.
Romeu has been informed of Barcelona's interest and the move could prove to be too difficult to turn down despite finding stability at St Mary's under Claude Puel
And he has earmarked Romeu as back-up to Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets as he fits the image they are looking for.
The report adds Romeu has been informed of Barca's interest and the move could prove to be too difficult to turn down despite finding stability at St Mary's under Claude Puel.
Romeu has made 43 appearances across all competitions for Southampton this season and has scored one goal.
