Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana describes Barcelona as his "home" and says that a return to his former club cannot be ruled out.

Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana has suggested that he would be interested in returning "home" to former club Barcelona at the end of the season.

Barca are reportedly weighing up a £35m offer for the Cameroon international to provide competition for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Onana spent five years with the Catalan giants at academy level before making the switch to Ajax in 2015, but he is rumoured to have previously rejected a move back to Camp Nou.

However, probed on the recent interest from Barca in an interview with Canal+ Afrique, the 24-year-old said: "It's hard to say because with FC Barcelona, I am still in very good relations with the president, the coaches.

"As I said earlier, Barca is my home. If I have to go back, I will go back. But today we are still far from it. I'm the Ajax goalkeeper and we'll see what happens at the end of the season.

"I only take care of the ball game, what happens at the stadium. The rest are my agents who manage."

Ter Stegen has two years to run on his Barcelona contract, but he recently stressed that he is in no rush to sign an extension.
