A return to Valencia could be on for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes.

The Portugal international has failed to make an impact in his first season with Barca and could be allowed to move on this summer.

Don Balon says the option of a return to Valencia has been raised this week.

Los Che would seek to take Gomes on a free loan - rather than pay a fee to sign him outright.

Valencia will reason with Barca that they can help rebuild the midfielder's form and confidence next season before sending him back for the 2018/19 campaign.
