Jordi Cruyff is on his way back to Barcelona.

Cataluyna Radio says the Dutchman is due back in Spain next week to join the club's front office.

Still contracted to FC Shenzen as coach, Cruyff is now in advanced talks with Barca about a management role in president Joan Laporta's administration.

And there's an expectation that Cruyff will be in Barcelona next week to begin his new job.

The former Barca striker and Holland international is the son of club legend Johan Cruyff.
