Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has refused to rule out a move to Barcelona - and admits it is a big compliment to be linked with the Catalan giants.
The Spanish right-back came through the academy at the Nou Camp before moving to Arsenal in 2011.
He continues to be linked with a return with new boss Ernesto Valverde reportedly giving the go-ahead for a £45million move.
Bellerin has remained coy about a potential switch this summer with Barca expected to move for a right-back.
"You never know what could happen. Its a club that I grew up in as a kid, the best club in the world," he told SPORT.
"It's a big compliment, of course, but I'm an Arsenal player with a contract there.
"I haven't talked to anyone. I haven't talked to the club. I know a lot of things are being talked about but as a player, the club haven't told me anything, there has still not been any contact."
Arsenal will start next season in the Europa League after finishing fifth and Bellerin is determined tor return to the Champions League at the earliest opportunity.
"Every player wants to play in the Champions League. Not being in the competition is a disappointment," he added.
"As a team, we didn't achieve qualification and it's important that we correct that."
