Valencia are keen to re-sign Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes.

Sport says Valencia and Barcelona have had preliminary conversations about the future of Portugal midfielder Gomes.

Both the player and Barça are in agreement that the best solution this summer is for him to leave Camp Nou.

Pending better offers, Valencia are currently the club leading the way in the bid to sign him, although they're a long way from satisfying the demands of Barça, who want to sell for more than 30 million euros.

Indeed, Los Che aren't even offering to cover his full salary during the loan.

If Barça finally decide to let him leave on loan, it would only be if his wages are completely covered for the duration of his stay at Valencia.
