Barcelona management are exploring the prospect of re-signing Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich.

The Spain midfielder left Barca three years ago for Bayern when Pep Guardiola took the job.

Cadena Ser says Barca are now exploring the prospect of tempting Thiago back 'home' this summer, where he would be reunited with younger brother Rafinha.

Thiago is tied to Bayern until 2019 and on a salary of €8 million.

The German giants will be reluctant to lose the midfielder, who is a first-choice for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
