Barcelona reconnect with Japanese whizkid Takefusa Kubo

Barcelona want to re-sign Japanese whizkid Takefusa Kubo.

The 15 year-old chose to return to Japan after Barca's transfer ban was handed down last year over their youth transfer workings.

Kubo is currently playing for FC Tokyo and is part of Japan's U18 squad.

Barca are now reviving talks with Kubo's family about bringing him back to Europe.

Any formal deal, however, won't be rubberstamped until he turns 18.
