Barcelona are ready to make a move for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

The Sunday Express says Guardiola could have a second spell as manager of Barcelona if he decides to leave Manchester City this summer.

The Catalan giants are keen to replace Ernesto Valverde next year, and know a return for Guardiola would be popular with supporters.

The 48-year-old still has strong ties to Barcelona, and his wife runs a successful fashion company in the city, meaning he could be tempted to go back.

Guardiola is in his fourth season with City and has never taken charge of a team for a longer period than that.
