Barcelona are reportedly preparing a summer swoop for Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu.
The 25-year-old started his career with Barcelona, but only made two first-team appearances for the Spanish giants before joining Chelsea in 2011.
The Spain Under-23 international struggled to settle at Stamford Bridge, however, and spent time on loan at Valencia and Stuttgart before joining Southampton on a permanent deal in 2015.
Romeu has been an ever-present for the Saints this season, making 31 appearances in all competitions and reportedly drawing attention with a host of impressive performances over the last few months.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the midfielder's form has not gone unnoticed at Camp Nou and Barcelona are considering re-signing the Spaniard as a back-up to Sergio Busquets.
Romeu has started 25 of Southampton's 26 Premier League matches this season.
